There is something so very comforting about living in fruit country here in Washington. I feel at home here. There is also something very symbolic about this fruit as we begin our mission here. We see fruit every day, and signs for fruit stands everywhere we go. But there is more than one kind of fruit. Jesus said, “By their fruits ye shall know them.”
I see evidence of those fruits every day in the people around me and in the the things they say and do. It’s thrilling to be associated with such goodness, wholesomeness, and Christ-like examples. Latter-day Saints are the happiest people I know. If you don’t know what makes us so happy, you really ought to find out.
