2 Nephi 31:1-3

2 Nephi 25:4,5

When we teach in the church, how can we speak with more ‘plainness’?

2 Nephi 31:13,142 Nephi 32:1-6

The other morning I was listening to the news …On one of the shows an author

who had just written a book about belief in God was being interviewed. He was being questioned about whether he personally believed in God.

The author answered with something like this. He said, “… I have no idea whether there is a God, but I do know that religion has gotten a bad name from people who do things like worship cactus and believe in angels.”

That was it. That was his whole response. He didn’t know whether he believed in God or not, but believing in angels was clearly equal to worshipping cactus.

May I suggest to you that one of the things we need to teach our [children], and one of the things which will become more important in their lives the longer they live, is the reality of angels, their work, and their ministry.

Obviously I speak here not alone of the angel Moroni, but also of those more personal ministering angels who are with us and around us, empowered to help us, and who do exactly that.

Perhaps more of us… could literally, or at least figuratively, behold the angels around us if we would but awaken from our stupor and hear the voice of the Spirit as those angels try to speak….

I believe we need to speak of and believe in and bear testimony to the ministry of angels more than we sometimes do. They constitute one of God's great methods of witnessing through the veil…

CES Symposium on the Book of Mormon • 9 August 1994

At a Christmas social once, I was sitting next to a woman from a recently opened country in Eastern Europe. She was in the west for the first time and was helping with the translation work. She was a convert of a little over a year.

She told me about [her home branch and] the poor circumstances they were all living in and how difficult it was for the members to get to their Sunday meetings… [These new members] could not say enough about the love and the gracious care of the Lord.

Then she said, “Once in awhile, we have holy angels visit and comfort and strengthen us.” She added with a smile, “Can you imagine? I have found people in Salt Lake City who have never see an angel.” She laughed as if that were the strangest thing she had ever heard.

Yearning for the Living God, p. 234

Alma 32And now, behold, I say unto you,

and I would that ye should remember, that God is merciful unto all who believe on his name;

therefore he desireth, in the first place, that ye should believe, yea, even on his word.

And now, he imparteth his word by angels unto men, yea, not only men but women also. Now this is not all;

little children do have words given unto them many times, which confound the wise and the learned.

Please know that your Father in Heaven loves you and so does His Only Begotten Son. When They speak to you—and They will—it will not be in the wind, nor in the earthquake, nor in the fire, but it will be with a voice still and small, a voice tender and kind.

It will be with the tongue of angels. May we all rejoice in the thought that when we say edifying, encouraging things unto the least of these, our brethren and sisters and little ones, we say it unto God.

…when messengers are sent to minister to the inhabitants of this earth, they are not strangers, but from the ranks of our kindred, friends, and fellow-beings and fellow-servants...

Our fathers and mothers, brothers, sisters and friends who have passed away from this earth, having been faithful, and worthy to enjoy these rights and privileges,

may have a mission given them to visit their relatives and friends upon the earth again, from the divine Presence messages of love, of warning, or reproof and instruction, to those whom they had learned to love in the flesh.”

(Gospel Principles, p. 435)

Enveloped in flaming fire, they [in the spirit world] are not far from us,

and know and understand our thoughts, feelings, and emotions, and are often pained therewith.

HC 6:52

I have the feeling . . . that those who give

themselves with all their might and main to this work receive help from the other side, and not merely in gathering genealogies.

Whoever seeks to help those on the other side receives help in return in all the affairs of life Genealogical Activities in Europe," Utah Genealogical and Historical Magazine 22 (July 1931): 104.
