A Matter of a Few Degrees

I wanted to share with you one of Elder Utchdorf's talks that I was reading this week and listening to, and share what I got from it. It's his talk titled, "A matter of a few degrees". As I was listening to it, I saw how important it is to stay on the direct path Heavenly Father has set for us. I remembered the analogy activity that Dad did with the YSA kids when we would have them over to our house. The string gets cut shorter every time we make a decision or choice. It may not seem like a lot, because the string is still there; but by the time we have made 3 or 4 or 5 cuts at the string, it can no longer reach the Savior; when at first, the string was reaching both people.

A matter of a few degrees is so powerful! I encourage all to read this talk, and be able to know that the choices and decisions we are making everyday, are helping us be and stay in the direct path to REACH our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ.

It's so cool how we can build other people up, by the actions of ourselves, and we can continually be learning more and more everyday. Continue to be the light that other people need in their life. Continue to be true and do your very best everyday, and the Lord will accept your effort.

I've learned that 2nd chances are possible through Jesus Christ and His atonement. His arms are stretched out still, for all and to all who will come and listen to Him and Follow Him. I'm grateful for the knowledge we have of the Gospel and what it means for each of us in our lives. Temples are a place where we can feel that love He has for us, and be able to truly talk with Him.

I love all of you guys so so much! I'm grateful for your constant love and support of me, and I miss all of you guys so much. ❤

I love you all forever and always!
Elder Dylan
