Overcoming Obstacles: Misplaced Zeal
Overcoming Obstacles: Misplaced Zeal “Statistics reveal that at some time, because of the illness or death of a husband or because of economic necessity, you may find yourself in the role of financial provider…. I urge you to pursue your education — if you are not already doing so or have not done so — that you might be prepared to provide if circumstances necessitate such." THOMAS S. MONSON “Three Goals to Guide You,” Ensign, Oct. 2007.
Overcoming Obstacles: Misplaced Zeal “We need women who are organized and women who can organize. We need women with executive ability who can plan and direct and administer; women who can teach, women who can speak out.... We need women with the gift of discernment who can view the trends in the world and detect those that, however popular, are shallow or dangerous." RUSSELL M. NELSON “A Plea to My Sisters,” Ensign, Oct. 2015; quoting Boyd K. Packer.
