Do you young people want a sure way to eliminate the influence of the adversary in your life? immerse yourself in searching for your ancestors, prepare their names for the sacred vicarious ordinances available in the temple, and then go to the temple to stand as proxy for them to receive the ordinances of baptism and the gift of the holy ghost. as you grow older, you will be able to participate in receiving the other ordinances as well. i can think of no greater protection from the influence of the adversary in your life

There is a difference between the holy ghost and the gift of the holy ghost. cornelius received the holy ghost before he was baptized, which was the convincing power of god unto him of the truth of the gospel, but he could not receive the gift of the holy ghost until after he was baptized. had he not [been baptized], the holy ghost which convinced him of the truth of god, would have left him.

The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of a weak, vacillating mind. opportunities! every life is full of them. every newspaper article is an opportunity. every client is an opportunity. every sermon is an opportunity. every business transaction is an opportunity, an opportunity to be polite, an opportunity to be manly, an opportunity to be honest, an opportunity to make friends.
Opportunity Mind Clients
There is a blessing in losing the one we love. it's the blessing of self-transformation. you don't have to who you were anymore. you've struggled. and now you can change. it doesn't mean that bits of that person won't cling to you, they will throughout your life, but they are now subsumed into something greater. that person has given you, in fact, the most important blessing, which is they gave you the blessing of transforming your soul into something better, something more beautiful.
Beautiful Mean Blessing
Recognize that whether you are worthy or not is all a made-up 'story'...nothing has meaning except for the meaning we give it...there's no one who comes around and stamps you 'worthy' or 'unworthy'. you do that. you make it up. you decide it...if you say you're worthy, you are. if you say you're not worthy, you're not. either way you will live into your story.
