"The Atonement, which can reclaim each one of us, bears no scars. That means that no matter what we have done or where we have been or how something happened, if we truly repent, He has promised that He would atone. And when He atoned, that settled that. There are so many of us who are thrashing around, as it were, with feelings of guilt, not knowing quite how to escape. You escape by accepting the Atonement of Christ, and all that was heartache can turn to beauty and love and eternity." -Boyd K. Packer (talk "The Plan of Happiness")

The end of all activity in the Church is to see that a man and a woman with their children are happy at home, sealed for eternity. -Boyd K. Packer

My darling niece is on a mission in Taiwan.  In one of her weekly emails she wrote this...

"My Dad used to tell me that there are two prayers that will ALWAYS be answered. The first is “Help me to notice a blessing that I haven’t noticed before” and the second is “Help me to find an opportunity to serve today. Let me know who needs my help!” From my own experience, I know that this is true! These prayers will always be answered." -Becca
