Elder Dean L. Larsen, speaking in the priesthood session of general conference in April 1983, quoted from the allegory of the olive tree and then declared: “You have come to the earth when the foundation has been laid for this great work. The gospel has been restored for the last time. The Church has been established in almost every part of the world. The stage is set for the final dramatic scenes to be enacted. You will be the principal players. You are among the last laborers in the vineyard. This is the yoke that is set upon your necks. This is the service for which you are chosen” (“Royal Generation,” 33).
