And I thank you for inviting me to speak tonight to you, and the sweet spirit that's been here, which you brought with you, and which our Heavenly Father blessed with. I'm grateful for that.

Now as I leave this lovely valley, I'm taking some very happy memories with me. I have had some wonderful folks taking care of me while I've here. And I'm going home rested, which is unusual. We shall try to return in October.

And so may I just leave my blessing with you and a prayer for both you and me, that we may be worthy of the Atonement of Jesus Christ and the Gospel which he has restored for our salvation. That is my prayer.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
