“Brothers and sisters, mortality works! It is designed to
work! Despite the challenges, heartaches, and difficulties we all face, our
loving, wise, and perfect Heavenly Father has designed the plan of happiness
such that we are not destined to fail. His plan provides a way for us to rise
above our mortal failures. The Lord has said, ‘This is my work and my glory—to
bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.’ Nonetheless, if we are
to be the beneficiaries of the Lord’s work and glory, even immortality and
eternal life, we must expect to be schooled and taught and to pass through the
refiner’s fire—sometimes to our utter limits. To completely avoid the problems,
challenges, and difficulties of this world would be to sidestep the process
that is truly necessary for mortality to work. We were not sent here to fail
but to succeed in God’s plan for us.” – Elder Brook P. Hales
