“The First Presidency had told Elder Hales that he could
give a brief message in the Sunday morning session if his health permitted it.
While his health did not permit it, he prepared a message, which he finished
last week and shared with me. Given his passing approximately three hours ago,
I share just three lines from his talk. Quoting Elder Hales: “When we choose to
have faith, we are prepared to stand in the presence of God. After the Savior’s
Crucifixion, He appeared only to those who had been faithful in the testimony
of Him while they lived in mortality. Those who rejected the testimonies of the
prophets could not behold the Savior’s presence, nor look upon his face. Our
faith prepares us to be in the presence of the Lord.” - Elder Neil L. Andersen
