Elder Uchtdorf, who was introduced by his wife Harriet, talked about life as a transition from the presence of Heavenly Father to new phases of life such as birth, death and resurrection.
Transition is healthy.
Elder Uchtdorf shared experiences of his youth as he grew up in East Germany and West Germany, and how he struggled in school with learning foreign languages. Even though he didn t want to learn English, he was motivated to achieve because it was necessary for him to fulfill his dream of becoming an airline pilot. I was able to learn English. Our motives and thoughts ultimately influence our actions. . . . If we apply these principles to our lives, with a desire to succeed in this great and marvelous transition and make significant contributions to the world, we will have right, true, proper and pure motives.
