We were in Fayette the other day for a big mission conference at the Peter Whitmer home. Getting out there was fun because we don't have a GPS. (I know, I should get one but I like using maps more) We found the place and had a great meeting with President Christianson giving us some very valuable advice and direction for our work.
On the way back from this meeting, everything looked so different because the clouds had rolled in and we could no longer tell if we were going North or South. Luckily, the car ahead of us had a GPS so we were able to follow them until we got to a place that was familiar. Getting back home was easy from then on.
We all get a little lost sometimes. Whether it be spiritually or physically, the path ahead of us can be clouded and without a solid land mark, getting lost is easy. That is why we have the prophets and the scriptures! They show us the way that we need to go when we get all mixed up and lose our sense of direction.
We have a living prophet today named Thomas S. Monson. He has been called by God to lead and guide the church today. He is like our "compass" so we may know what direction we need to take on our path back to our Heavenly Father's presence.
