We should be patient in developing and strengthening our testimonies. Rather than expecting immediate or spectacular manifestations, though they will come when needed, we should pray for a testimony, study the scriptures, follow the counsel of our prophet and other Church leaders, and live the principles of the gospel.

If nature were not beautiful it would not be worth knowing, and life would not be worth living.

What I mean is that more intimate beauty which comes from the harmonious order of its parts, and which a pure intelligence can grasp.
