We have Brother Ronald Dagger here on a furlough from the services, and we'd like to hear from him at this time. When he's out of it, that's good. Welcome home. Really good to be here again, like me and whatever I might say. Yes, I'm about the happiest people here today. Very long ago, sitting down there in the Army, I wondered how long it'd be before I could come back home. The Lord has really blessed me, delivered me from the Army. Real good experience. I'm thankful for it. There's a lot of things I learned. You're right that there were, because if we don't learn something every day, we're failing. If we don't learn the lessons that are given us to apply them and apply the teachings that have been given, then we're failing. First off, when I found I had to go in the Army, well, it brought a lot of thought, a lot of deep thinking. It's been even more so.

When I found out I was going to get out, in a way, Bob broke my neck to get home. I guess I could have come home a little slower way, but I got home as fast as I could. Even the next day I was home, there was something for me to do. It didn't happen tomorrow or be called to do. I pray that we can all be ready, be able to do the things that are required of us, timed and converted to lots of things. Not always we've got to try our own life first. There's a lot of teachings we hear that seem different.

the way they used to live, the way people used to do. Just because people used to do things doesn't mean it was right. I pray that we can convert it to the doctrine of the priesthood of the gospel and to live. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
