       - your course is marked and has been walked by the Savior
        -  many will be your guard is and will call out cautions
       -   Temple walk

In order to stay on the path YOU must guard your virtue and those around you

- You can make a difference
- make a list of things that you will always do and a list of things you will never do

Make decisions in advance

Be transmitters of the Light of Christ

Holy Ghost the only way we can know for ourselves

13th article of Faith are attributes of Christ
-testimony will come to you in pieces

Alma 32 -

- were taught to begin our quest for testimony with a particle of faith and a desire for it to grow

It must be nurtured or it will wither

The greatest of God's gifts is eternal lives

Faith has become certain knowledge for Pres. Eyring

There is danger in neglecting prayer
There is danger in casual reading of scriptures and neglecting studying them.  Feast on word of God

You will not have desire granted for a living testimony if not nourishing it

Each time you strive to live more like the Savior you strengthen your testimony

You will be light to the world as you share your testimony with others
