BYU–Pathway Worldwide students are highly diverse. And yet, during a devotional broadcast to students around the globe on Friday, Oct. 31, Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles offered two pieces of counsel to students that transcend differences in culture, backgrounds, ages or circumstances. First, “Take advantage of every opportunity that BYU–Pathway affords you,” Elder Bednar told students. “It is my personal belief that BYU–Pathway is one of the educational miracles of the dispensation of the fullness of times to bless people all over the world in remarkably different circumstances and conditions.” Second, he reminded listeners, “the gospel of Jesus Christ is joyful.”
