CHANGING WORLD
“We live in a changing world. Technology has
altered nearly every aspect of our lives. We must
cope with these advances – even these
cataclysmic changes – in a world of which our
forbears never dreamed.”
President Thomas S. Monson
Ensign, May 2003

CARRY THE GOSPEL
“President Hinckley added to his
powerful, emotional witness a list of concerns for
the future. One of his concerns particularly stuck in
my mind. His worry was that with the great growth
of the Church throughout the world, it would
become increasingly difficult for the Apostles to
reach all members of the Church and personally
admonish them to live the gospel. Thus, the future
would bring greater reliance on technology to carry
the gospel message to the worldwide Church.”
Elder L. Tom Perry
Ensign, May 2000

8. TECHNOLOGY
INVENTIONS
“I believe that the Lord is anxious to put into our
hands inventions of which we laymen have hardly
had a glimpse.”
President Spencer W. Kimball
Ensign, October 1974

9. TECHNOLOGY
MISSIONARIES
“There are over 7,000 AM and FM radio stations in
the United States, with thousands more in other
parts of the world. There are innumerable
opportunities for us to use these stations
overseas, if we only prepare the message in the
native languages.
Also, missionaries could be supplied with small
portable cassette tape players and go into the
homes with prepared messages to humble family
groups all around the globe. Millions of people are
anxious and willing to learn, if only they can hear
the “sound” in their own language and in a manner
that they can grasp and understand.
QUOTES
Just think what can be accomplished when we
broadcast our message in many languages over
numerous radio stations, large and small, around
the world, and millions of good people listening on
their transistors are being indoctrinated with the
truth.”
President Spencer W. Kimball
Ensign, October 1974
