The evening with Elder J Holland was very enlightening to the Young
Single Adults.and the rest of the attendees.A few of the Single Adults fielded questions which then
Elder & Sister Teh and Elder & Sister Callister took turn in
sharing their thoughts about it. The questions deals with the
challenges SA's are facing, like getting married and living in a not so
friendly family environment. The answers are equally inspiring and with
personal touch as the Authorities shared their experiences in relation to the challenges faced by the SA's.
Elder Michael Teh had a preview of what Elder J Holland will talk about
as he explained the emphasis on the "SA" part of the "YSA" word

Members while away the time after the devotional |
Elder Holland issued a challenged as well to the single adults "We need you (
YSA's) to signed on and step up, because you are Adults....more to act that way" To
return missionaries his counsel is " not to fall back when after
mission" He contrasted on those who "act like nothing happens" when
returning from mission. On those who are postponing marriage due to financial
constraints , he said that it "has nothing to do with money...that
everything in this earth is about faith". He cited the brother of Jared and the effort of Abinadi in stressing the importance of faith.
He narrated a very powerful conversation in a stake conference
setting when a General Authority and a member who showed up and being
alone representing the unit where he came from, sounds apologetic. The GA stood and reminded the member to never " ever , ever ,ever apologized for being the only one" Elder Holland
ended his message with an admonition for the Adults to stand up to the
challenges, for they will be the leaders of the young generation and
that in the end " what God will be looking for is the one who will stand
".

Sa asa pwede nato ma view ang iyang complete talk? thanks!
I doubt there's a copy to view as the messages came out freely. Nobody seems recording it as well. Maybe there are some who took notes and who could share
I hope it will come out in the news section of Liahona next month! Thanks!
