Heavenly Father prepared us in our youth to become the women we are today, and He now prepares us to become the mothers and wives in our future. How has Heavenly Father prepared you?<\/p>\n<p>President Uchtdorf continues, \u201cThe Lord reminds us that \u2018unto whom much is given much is required.\u2019 Those who bear the priesthood (or support the priesthood) of God have a great responsibility to be examples of goodness to the world. We live up to these expectations when we quickly recognize the dangers and influences that tempt us to drift from the Lord\u2019s way and when we courageously follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost to make decisive corrections that will bring us back on course.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Atonement allows us to get back on course. The Atonement became very real to me while I was on my mission.

Come, learn of the Father; offer up a sacrifice of a broken heart and a contrite spirit. Have faith, and believe in the cleansing power of the infinite Atonement of Jesus the Christ.

I am a wife, mother of six, and grandmother of six. Besides enjoying my research into the history of the Relief Society, I also read voraciously, make art quilts, and volunteer for too many things. I am also working on a Creative Writing degree from BYU\u2019s online program. Most of all, I have a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ.","sameAs":["https:\/\/reliefsocietywomen.com","Jan"]},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/4b99af3c342101727228b1c9eaa07af0","name":"Kimberly","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/7e8d85b72447ba34b159fc57c803d6a8e5667a945ca4e74d6969d4bf10ca6bfd?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/7e8d85b72447ba34b159fc57c803d6a8e5667a945ca4e74d6969d4bf10ca6bfd?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/7e8d85b72447ba34b159fc57c803d6a8e5667a945ca4e74d6969d4bf10ca6bfd?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Kimberly"},"url":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/author\/kimberly\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/The_Spirits_Path.180115210_std.jpg?fit=600%2C394&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5388"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5388\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5410,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5388\/revisions\/5410"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5388"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
