Aloha! My name is Won Yong Ko. I am honored to have an opportunity to visit to BYU–Hawaii and to speak in a devotional with President and Sister Wheelwright and many wonderful faculty members and students.
What a great privilege it is to be together with all of you in this beautiful Hawaiian setting. Sytske and I are enjoying the Aloha spirit and the opportunity to get to know you. We have recently been called to serve as ward missionaries. This has given us a renewed interest in the “Preach My Gospel” manual that many of you are familiar with. Just as a matter of curiosity, please raise your hand if you have served a full-time mission. As we reflect upon the spiritual guidance we have received from the Holy Ghost, we are a bit overwhelmed by the many blessings that are coming our way. We are promised that if we follow the Lord and keep His commandments, the blessings will flow. I would like to quote from Elder Keith Hilbig of the Seventy. The beckoning invitations of the world attempt to divert our attention from the strait and narrow path. The adversary labors to dull our sensitivity to the promptings of the Spirit, whether we are teenagers, young adults, or mature men and women. The role of the Spirit, the Holy Ghost, is essential in every season of our mortal lives.

Brothers and sisters, malo e lelei.
My brothers and sisters, aloha. First of all, thank you to my sister for introducing me today. Well, I was asked a while back if I was willing to speak today. I quickly said yes; however, I am humbled by this assignment. In writing this talk, I had to question myself. Who am I to speak to you? I am just one person. Many of you have experiences and knowledge that exceed my own. But, it is with my purest respect and humility that I come before you in hopes of bettering myself and those of you listening.

My dear brothers and sisters, Aloha. I express my gratitude to President Wheelwright and the President's Council for extending me this marvelous opportunity to speak to you this morning. The fact that this is a rare and very special assignment is not lost on me and so I have earnestly sought for inspiration from the Lord.
