“In one way or another, great
or small, dramatic or incidental, every one of us is going to spend a little
time in Liberty Jail- spiritually speaking.
We will face things we do not want to face for reasons that may not be
our fault. Indeed, we may face difficult circumstances for reasons that were
absolutely right and proper, reasons that came because we were trying to keep the commandments of the Lord. We may
face persecution, we may endure heartache and separation from loved ones, we
may be hungry and cold and forlorn. Yes, before our lives are over we may all
be given a little taste of what the prophets faced often in their lives.
But the lessons of the winter
of 1838-39 teach us that every experience can become a redemptive experience if
we remain bonded to our Father in Heaven through it.” – Elder Holland, Lessons From Liberty Jail, September
