“My husband and I were invited to a gathering of many
experienced Church leaders. A new presiding officer had recently been called,
and at the end of the meeting a difficult and contentious question was asked. His
response was something like this: ‘Brother, I don’t know the answer, but I’ll
tell you what I do know. I know God is our Eternal Father. I know Jesus is the
Savior and Redeemer of the world. I know Joseph Smith saw God the Father and
His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. I know the Book of Mormon is true and contains
the fullness of the gospel. I know we have a living prophet today who speaks for
the Lord. I don’t know the answer to your question, but these things I know.
The rest I take on faith. I try to live this simple statement of faith I
learned from Marjorie Hinckley: first I obey, then I understand.’” – Linda K.
