Not Food Storage- but a Great Quote

Elder David Bednar shared the following information at a BYU-I Education Week Devotional Speech, June 2002-

Elder George Q. Cannon taught:

“God has reserved spirits for this dispensation who have the courage and determination to face the world and all the powers of the evil one, visible and invisible, to proclaim the Gospel and maintain the truth and establish and build up the Zion of our God fearless of all consequences. He has sent these spirits in this generation to lay the foundation of Zion never more to be overthrown and to raise up a seed that will be righteous and that will honor God and honor Him supremely and be obedient to Him under all circumstances (Journal of Discourses, 11:230 [May 6, 1866], emphasis added”).

Elder Bednar added: Thus, obedience is the principal weapon upon which [these] young warriors must rely in the latter-day battle between good and evil.
