Second Quorum of the Seventy (April 2, 2005 – October 1, 2011)

General Conference Addresses

• October 2005 General Conference
  • Sacrifice Is a Joy and a Blessing
    • “If we summarize the history of the scriptures, we can say that it is the history of sacrifice.”
    • “Today we are not likely to be asked to make such a big sacrifice as giving up our lives, but we can see many examples of Saints who make painful sacrifices to keep their faith and testimonies alive. Maybe it is more difficult to make the small sacrifices in our daily lives. For instance, it could be regarded as a small sacrifice to keep the Sabbath day holy, to read the scriptures daily, or to pay our tithing. But these sacrifices cannot be easily made unless we have the mind and the determination to make the sacrifices that are needed to be able to keep those commandments.”
    • “Brothers and sisters, do not be afraid of sacrifice. Please enjoy the happiness and blessings from the sacrifice itself.”
