LAIE, HAWAII — Near the end of his five-day ministry in Hawaii, President Dieter F. Uchtdorf invited the thousands of students attending BYU–Hawaii to do good now and not wait for a future day to fully commit to living the gospel of Jesus Christ.
On Sunday night, the new acting president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles revisited his 2008 general conference message titled “Lift Where You Stand.” President Uchtdorf, who was accompanied by his wife, Sister Harriet Uchtdorf, applied the principles of that message to the lives of students at the Church’s school in Laie on the North Shore of the island of Oahu.
“We have much to share with the world,” President Uchtdorf said. “And what does [the Lord] expect us to do with the abundance of spiritual blessings that He has given us?”
Answering his own question, he taught that the Lord desires individuals to follow His teachings and become His disciples.
