Episode Synopsis "Knowing Who You Are -- And Who You Have Always Been (Sherri L. Dew)"

Sherri L. Dew, Relief Society General Presidency BYU Womens Conference, May 2001 Because of our premortal valor, we were chosen to be born into the house of Israel, which lineage President Harold B. Lee called the most illustrious lineage of all who would come to earth, and which Elder Bruce R. McConkie said was reserved for those who sought the greatest of all premortal talents, the talent of spirituality. Now we are here, separated from the safety of our heavenly home, serving a mission in this lone and dreary world-a mission to prove whether or not we want to be part of the kingdom of God more than we want anything else. The Lord is testing our faith and our integrity to see if we will persevere in a realm where Satan reigns. Happily, despite taking this test in the stormy twilight of the dispensation of the fulness of times, we have once again chosen to follow Jesus Christ. We have chosen to follow Him because we remember Him and we recognize Him.
