Trust your father. He is not perfect, but he loves you and would never do anything he didn't think was in your best interest. So talk to him. Share your thoughts and feelings, your dreams and your fears. The more he knows about your life, the better chance he has to understand your concerns and to give you good counsel.
M. Russell BallardI believe our Heavenly Fatherโs 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 โatonementโ is the word โone.โ 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.
M. Russell BallardI believe that every human soul is teaching something to someone nearly every minute here in mortality.
M. Russell BallardI surely know that there is no role in life more essential and more eternal than that of motherhood.
M. Russell BallardSimply stated, testimony-real testimony, born of the Spirit and confirmed by the Holy Ghost-changes lives. It changes how you think and what you do. It changes what you say. It affects every priority you set and every choice you make.
