Boyd K. Packer Quotes About Purpose

Quotes about: Purpose

• It was meant to be that life would be a challenge. To suffer some anxiety, some depression, some disappointment, even some failure is normal.

There is great purpose in our struggle in life.

Everything that I have learned from the revelations and from life convinces me that there is time and to spare for you to carefully prepare for a long life.
