"Our present mortal state places a veil of forgetfulness over our minds, allowing us to prove ourselves able to 'do all things whatsoever the Lord [our] God shall command' (Abr. 3:25). But even though our present long-range view of eternity is limited, the Lord has not left us without direction. He has provided scriptures and Apostles and prophets through whom he has revealed his plan for our exaltation and eternal life. And we have the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, to guide us."

M. Russell Ballard, Ensign, May 1995, 22
