Give to Others in Love and Service

Elder Robert D. Hales

"Loneliness in the kingdom of God is often a self-imposed exile. …

"We hope … each of you feels the need to join the whole ward [or branch] family and use your unique gifts and talents to touch the lives of all of our brothers and sisters. … The opportunities we all have for caring and fellowshipping in the ward [or branch] are boundless if we are willing to give of ourselves in love and service."

Elder Robert D. Hales of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, "Belonging to a Ward Family," Ensign, Mar. 1996, 16.
