Finding Your Own Way - It Matters!

I am sending photos today so my time will be short - it takes forever to upload the photos to this horribly old computer but I am determined to try today.  It is raining which means that our power may turn off at any moment so I will do the photos first and see if a letter materializes while I try to send photos. Please know I am trying my best to communicate with all of you using materials that are so old and basic - I am not complaining, I am so happy that I have access to a computer at all. But, I want to try to explain why I am limited in what I am sending.

So this past week I have been attempting to memorize the Living Christ, this is a testimony of Christ, given by the leaders in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It has a powerful message and I invite all to read it. I hope you all understand that in each and everyone of us is the potential to be powerful sons and daughters of our Father in Heaven. Just as Heroes in movies take time to discover their full power or purpose, we need to take our time to find ours. What is a few moments searching for the truth if we really live forever because of what we find?! 

I wish to share with all of you my Testimony. At this time in my life I have come to know, better then I could have possibly conceived in previous moments of my life, that we are all Children of a Heavenly Father. We have the power and ability to become as He is. Every step we take in this life will either direct our path in His way or lead us to the many distractions that are offered for our enjoyment. By taking time to understand ourselves, we can come to know where we may be standing. If we begin to understand our Divine potential, we begin to recognize the necessary steps that must be taken to reach our full potential. Yet without our greatest effort or our full commitment, our potential can never be achieved. Even in this life our potential can never be reached but by taking necessary steps now we may allow ourselves an easier path once we have moved on. Just as receiving a degree takes time energy and sacrifice, our degree in Heaven requires the same. Unlike college, we are not taking classes but consistently and forever taking the test. Watch your steps for each and every challenge or trial, no matter how small or insignificant.  Each step will push us forward or pull us back. I implore all of you with a sincere and fervent call, "Come and see", an invitation given by our Savior. If all we can do is come and see then that is what is required of us. Attempt to know where you stand and where you must go because if you don't know your goal, then as the Chesire cat said (Alice in Wonderland) "Then it doesn't matter much which path you take because you don't care where you end up". It matters  here and now, and for you eternity! Decided now to find your potential and strive to reach it at all times.

I love you all so much. I hope you know how amazing I think you all are.

All my love from Dunkwa (again) -
