"Involvement in such will literally destroy the spirit. Be strong. Be clean. Avoid such degrading and destructive types of content at all costs — wherever they may be! I sound this warning to everyone, everywhere. I add — particularly to the young people — that this includes pornography images transmitted via cell phones. ...

"To you who are worthy and able to attend the temple, I would admonish you to go often. The temple is a place where we can find peace. There we receive a renewed dedication to the Gospel and a strengthened resolve to keep the commandments. ...

"As your humble servant, I desire with all my heart to do God's will and to serve Him and to serve you."
