| While it is true that people are much more tolerant of us now than they were 100 years ago, there are still a lot of people who don't understand and/or don't like Mormonism. |
While this is true, we receive no where near the persecution the early saints did. No one refuses to hire me because of my beliefs. I haven't been driven from my home and I don't fear for my life. So, while there are plenty of "anti-Mormons in existance, I think in general we are accepted. I think it is also quite easy to seens of people doing what they can to ensure that we continue to be accepted. Nothing wrong with that, but there is still great danger in that. If it becomes the goal at the expense of doctrine.

"Notwithstanding the great evil of these times, what a glorious season it has been and now is. A new day has come in the work of the Almighty. That work has grown and strengthened and moved across the earth. It has now touched for good the lives of millions, and this is only the beginning."

Bishop H. David Burton, during BYU's weekly devotional gave a speech and said "these are good times". Some of his statements:
QUOTE "We all have to determine for ourselves if we, in mixed turbulent times like we are currently in, perceive the glass of water to be half full or half empty," he said. "I'm a half full sort of guy. I propose that we are, indeed, living in the best of times. In spite of all of its warts, 2009 is a great time to be alive. We are living in a time of great opportunity."
QUOTE "Yes, these are the times that may try men's souls, and perhaps for some the challenges of the day may seem overwhelming," Bishop Burton said, "but for all who continue to have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, who, regardless of circumstances, continue to be positive and obedient, who continue to see the glass half full, 2009 and the times that follow will be the best of times."
