Connecting to God Through Personal Revelation | President William Tu'ifua | June 10, 2025

In his devotional address, President William Tu'ifua, Stake President of the Laie Hawaii YSA 1st Stake, shares how building a strong spiritual connection with God is essential in today’s world. Drawing on his experience as an electrician, he compares high-voltage cable preparation to the way we prepare ourselves to receive personal revelation—through obedience, repentance, and sacred covenants. He emphasizes that the Holy Ghost can only guide us if we actively maintain our connection to God. With personal stories and prophetic counsel, President Tu'ifua invites all to act on promptings and trust the Lord’s timing.

“Brothers and Sisters, the Lord loves you. He is the Light. He wants that connection with you. Prepare yourselves and trust Him and His timing.”
