Country of the Day: Dominican Republic

Quote of the day!

"The Lord has made no secret of the fact that He intends to try the faith and the patience of His Saints. We mortals are so quick to forget the Lord: 'And thus we see that except the Lord doth chasten his people with many afflictions...they will not remember him.' However, the Lord knows our bearing capacity, both as to coping and to comprehending, and He will not give us more to bear than we can manage at the moment, though to us it may seem otherwise. Just as no temptations will come to us from which we cannot escape or which we cannot bear, we will not be given more trials than we can sustain.... To be cheerful when others are in despair, to keep the faith when others falter, to be true even when we feel forsaken - all of these are deeply desired outcomes during the deliberate, divine tutorials which God gives to us - because He loves us. These learning experiences must not be misread as divine indifference. Instead, such tutorials are a part of the divine unfolding. "
Neal A. Maxwell    Conference Report, Oct.1982, p. 97
