Small Events And Choices Determine The Direction

Friends And Family Are Vitally Important For An Individual Who Is Struggling To Return To The Gospel Path. Those Around Such A Person Must Refrain From Judging. They Must Do All They Can To Show Love.

Be Involved; Be Informed. Make Meaningful Contributions To Society Through Service And Involvement.

Of All The Opportunities My Priesthood Authority Affords, There Is None Grander Than The Privilege Of Being In One Of Our Temples And Representing The Master In Officiating In The Marriage Of Two Of His Worthy, Righteous Children.

Let Us Remember That The Savior Is The Way, The Truth, And The Life, And There Can Be No Greater Promise Than To Know That If We Are Faithful And True, We Will One Day Be Safely Encircled In The Arms Of His Love (see D&c 6:20). He Is Always There To Give Encouragement, To Forgive, And To Rescue. Therefore, As We Exercise Faith And Are Diligent In Keeping The Commandments, We Have Nothing To Fear From The Journey.

I Believe Our Heavenly Father’s Everlasting Purpose For His Children Is Generally Achieved By The Small And Simple Things We Do For One Another. At The Heart Of The English Word ‘atonement’ Is The Word ‘one.’ If All Mankind Understood This, There Would Never Be Anyone With Whom We Would Not Be Concerned, Regardless Of Age, Race, Gender, Religion, Or Social Or Economic Standing. We Would Strive To Emulate The Savior And Would Never Be Unkind, Indifferent, Disrespectful, Or Insensitive To Others.
