Adversity Quote by Dieter F. Uchtdorf

“You will suffer, be tempted, and make mistakes. You will learn for yourself what every heroine has learned: through overcoming challenges come growth and strength. It is your reaction to adversity, not the adversity itself, that determines how your life's story will develop.” quote by Dieter F. Uchtdorf
