Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and his wife, Harriet, both urged young adults Sunday to trust in God and remain faithful to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
“Trust in God,” the Apostle said. Life doesn’t come with “cheat codes,” and “God won’t give you a detailed itinerary for your life’s journey,” but “He trusts you to make the best possible decisions by following Jesus Christ.”
Addressing an audience of young Latter-day Saints gathered in the Marriott Center in Provo, Utah, and around the world on Sunday, February 2, the Uchtdorf drew from their life experiences to offer encouragement and inspired counsel regarding agency and personal revelation.

‘First, know that God’s answers to your most profound questions may take a little time, and they may come in ways you hadn’t expected. God’s answers are of eternal value. They are worth the wait.’
Elder Uchtdorf addressed the frustration of getting answers to difficult questions facing people of all ages, such as “Am I on the right path? Does God really notice me? Does He care?” and more.
In a time when Google can provide quick answers to most questions, “our most personal, important, and far-reaching questions” require more patience. “Heavenly answers — eternal answers — are priceless. Receiving these answers often requires sacrifice, work and repetition,” he taught.
