"Lessons from Liberty Jail"

by Elder Jeffery R. Holland

This was a CES fireside and broadcast on September 7, 2008. 


I had just come home from my mission and this really hit home for me. I remember sitting in the Bellville Chapel in Cape Town, South Africa with other Young Single Adults (YSA). 

It talks about how challenges can really be very sacred experiences!
"You can have sacred, revelatory, profoundly instructive experience with the Lord in any situation you are in—just as Joseph received beautiful, comforting revelation in the "prison-temple" of Liberty Jail."
Watch it below (53:39 mins)


I love the archives of speeches.byu.edu

There you can download a PDF or mp3 file of this speech, so you can read or listen to it. 

I really love audio files because I can put it on my ipod or computer - on my mission I had several talks on CD - and then listen to it whenever I need inspiration or hope or comfort!

It's so nice to listen to them speak - you get all the passion, emotions & emphasis that he intended and delivered it with!

That being said... there is also something wonderful about reading a talk like this - you can go through it slowly & really think about some of the powerful ideas and highlight, mark and write notes. I love that too!

So, you have your pick here of 3 versions!


It's available to read online at lds.org too.
