Luke 6:22

Elder Richard G. Scott
“Now to each of you: at times you may feel lonely and misunderstood - I have -because you don’t fit in with the crowd.  Be grateful that your righteous life molds you so that you don’t fit where you don’t belong. This is a temporary period of personal testing and growth. It will be replaced in time with true friends and greater happiness.”  (Elder Scott, Ensign, Nov 1998, 68)


President Packer said, “Young Latter-day Saints, shape up! Face up! Take hold of your lives! Take control of your mind, your thoughts! If you have friends that are not a good influence, make changes, even if you face loneliness, even rejection.”  (“The Spirit of Revelation,” Ensign, Nov 1999, 23)
