You feel peace, hope, and joy when it speaks to your heart and mind that something is true. And you knew that it was inspiration from God. You have felt the quiet confirmation in your heart and mind that something was true. Most of you have felt the effects of that promise being fulfilled in your lives. The Lord also promised that those who have accepted the gift of the Holy Ghost in their lives would not be deceived (see D&C 45:56–59).

After you were baptized, authorized servants of God promised you that you could receive the Holy Ghost. The key for each of us will be to accept and hold the gift we have been promised by God. And, wherever we live, that test will become increasingly difficult. We are all in the probationary test of mortality. With all of our uniqueness, we all have some things in common.
