Can one righteous young woman [man] change the world? The answer is a resounding “yes!” You have the Holy Ghost as your guide, and He “will show … you all things … [you] should do.” It is the daily consistent things you do that will strengthen you to be a leader and an example—daily prayer, daily scripture study, daily obedience, daily service to others. As you do these things, you will grow closer to the Savior and become more and more like Him. Your face will glow with the fire of your faith.

Are there people in our lives who have hurt us? Do we harbor what seem like fully justified feelings of resentment and anger? Are we letting pride keep us from forgiving and letting go? I invite all of us to forgive completely and let healing occur from within. And even if forgiveness doesn’t come today, know that as we desire it and work for it, it will come.

One of the fundamental needs we have in order to grow is to stay connected to our source of light—Jesus Christ. Knowing that, Satan tries to exploit the worldly pressures we all face. He works to dim our light, short-circuit the connection, cut off the power supply, leaving us alone in the dark.

At work, I received a call from a customer. When I accepted the call, I said my usual opening spiel and when she verified her name I then pulled up the account. Once I was routed to her account, the items on her order history immediately caught my eye.

It was a book on how to learn and study more about the Book of Mormon - - another testament of Jesus Christ. She wanted to cancel a subscription on her account. I gladly did so and proceeded through the normal process like a customer service representative would do. Before ending the call, I was not able to hold myself from asking her this question:

"If you don't mind me asking (name), do you happen to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints?"

She then responded to the question with a "Yes, I am a member".

Puzzled, she said "Why do you ask?"

"Well, I'm also a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints!"

Then, we shared a good laugh and talked a bit about it. I smiled all throughout the call.

I never expected that I would answer a call from someone who shared the same faith as I do. It made me realize that no matter where we are and which part of the world we may be in right now, the disciples of the Lord will always be there and would be an instrument in sharing His gospel to the world, in so many ways we can ever imagine.

I also learned that we can always serve others in any way, even the things that we think are impossible to do. I know that the Lord will bless us for serving others and we can also be a blessing to those people that we serve and help.
