BYU-Pathway students are following the prophet by getting an education
This is your moment
President Nelson said that “it is neither too early nor too late” for you to become a disciple.
Discovering BYU-Pathway was a way to recapture his dream of education while strengthening his testimony and family. Reflecting on his experience so far, he said, “BYU-Pathway was, is, and will be the continuation of a life more dedicated to the Lord, with greater economic, social, and spiritual possibilities for me, my family, and those around me.”
Challenges will come
President Nelson knows personally that God gives strength to individuals who are experiencing challenges. When faced with the grief of unexpectedly losing his wife, the Spirit gave President Nelson comfort and understanding in a moment of great pain.
Joni Brammer from Rexburg, Idaho, learned that truth through an unexpected trial. In 2022, Joni experienced a medical emergency that forced her to drop out of BYU-Pathway. While still not fully recovered, Joni heavily relied on the Lord to begin her studies again a few months later.
She said, “Each day of each week, I have been getting better. Heavenly Father has been healing me through BYU-Pathway. He has given me something to work toward. I come to him every day; I pray before I begin my studies, and while I work, He heals me.”
Like Joni, God has promised that you will find healing and peace as you turn to Him. He has said, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”The best is yet to come
President Nelson promises that “the best is yet to come as we fully turn our hearts and our lives to Jesus Christ.”God wants you to progress and become better, and education is one way to do that. As we learn from Jean Paul and Joni, it is never too late to pursue education because God will strengthen us when challenges come. The future is bright for those who choose to follow Christ.
