"The term Millennial is perfect for you if that term reminds you of who you really are and what your purpose in life really is. A True Millennial is one who was taught and did teach the gospel of Jesus Christ premortally and who made covenants with our Heavenly Father there about courageous things—even morally courageous things—that you would do while here on earth... A True Millennial is a man or woman who lives now to help prepare the people of this world for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and His millennial reign. Make no mistake about it—you were born to be a True Millennial."
WOAH! Us young people are kind of important. We have been chosen to help prepare the world for the Second Coming of the Messiah. We have a special purpose.
President Nelson then gives four recommendations of how we can stand up and be true Millennials.
"You are living in the “eleventh hour.” The Lord has declared that this is the last time that He will call laborers into His vineyard to gather the elect from the four quarters of the earth.2 And you were sent to participate in this gathering. Again and again I have seen firsthand the powerful influence of True Millennials as they bring others to a knowledge of the truth."
"As a True Millennial whom the Lord can count on, you will make history too! You will be asked to accept challenging assignments and become an instrument in the Lord’s hands. And He will enable you to accomplish the impossible."
In short, I want to be a true Millennial. I want my Heavenly Father and my Savior to be able to count on me to do hard things. I want to be trusted to do the impossible. I know that through Christ's strength, "I can do all things" (Phillipians 4:13).
