Member of the mission presidency who grew up in Indiana. He served in the SLC North Mission that covered everything north of SLC including Ogden and some of Wyoming and he is now serving in much the same mission being a member of the Ogden mission presidency.
The prophet puts certain programs in place at certain times during the history of the world. Things change and programs that could work better in our day come into being.
There were some speakers that spoke of the youth spectacular that my daughter performed in with several stakes in the area.

Joshua 1:9
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the aLord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Harold B. Lee, "Message from the First Presidency: Preparing Our Youth", Ensign, Mar. 1971, 2
“It seems clear to me that the Church has no choice—and never has had—but to do more to assist the family in carrying out its divine mission, not only because that is the order of heaven, but also because that is the most practical contribution we can make to our youth—to help improve the quality of life in the Latter-day Saint homes. As important as our many programs and organizational efforts are, these should not supplant the home; they should support the home.”
2 Nephi 2:26
26 And the aMessiah cometh in the fulness of time, that he may bredeem the children of men from the fall. And because that they are credeemed from the fall they have become dfree forever, knowing good from evil; to act for themselves and not to be acted upon, save it be by the punishment of the elaw at the great and last day, according to the commandments which God hath given.
Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, in Conference Report, Oct. 1989, 94; or Ensign, Nov. 1989, 75
“The Lord has given you the gift of agency (see Moses 7:32) and instructed you sufficiently to know good from evil (see 2 Nephi 2:5). You are free to choose (see 2 Nephi 2:27) and are permitted to act (see 2 Nephi 10:23; Helaman 14:30), but you are not free to choose the consequences. With absolute certainty, choices of good and right lead to happiness and peace, while choices of sin and evil eventually lead to unhappiness, sorrow, and misery”

Going to church should be more meaningful to each of us than just showing up.

Doctrine and Covenants 11:21
