"When obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irritation; instead of a stumbling block, it becomes a building block."

                                                                   - James E. Faust

This is a great statement. What this says is obedience is key. Obedience at first may seem like something irritating to you, but after it pays off. You will live happy and a life of a CTR person. Remember if you are not obedient, you will not be happy. No one will be obedient to your rules or customs if you are not obedient to theirs. You must be an obedient person. You must be obedient until the day you die. You must be a CTR person.

James E. Faust

"Obedience is central to becoming, being, and remaining happy."
                                                                                 -David Bednar
This is a great statement. This is telling us that obedience is key to the happy life. If you are not obedient you will not be happy. You will not like the outcome of your decisions. Obedience is central because it is the main part to your happiness. Obedience can not be left out of your happiness. You are not truly happy with what you have done if you are not obedient. You can never be at peace with yourself if you are not obedient. If you are not obedient, you are not happy. If you are not happy, you are not obedient.

"The key to freedom is obedience. The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have".
                                                                                                        - Boyd K. Packer
This means that if we are more obedient than disobedient, we will be more free than contained. Obedience is key to being free. If you are not obedient then you are not free. If you are obedient and choosing the right then you will be as free as you can be. It is as simple as that.
If you are free then you should be obedient. If you are not obedient yet given the privilege to be free, then eventually that freedom will be taken from you. Choose to be obedient and be proud of being free. Be grateful that you have freedom within our country and respect that with obedience.

Thomas S. Monson learned from his disobedience. Him and his friend were trying to make a fire out around Viviane park private homes where they lived. Now young Thomas did not choose the right because they were collecting weeds at first to make their own fire. Then suddenly he came up with the wrong idea. Him and his friend decided to just burn all the weeds all together within the area. The eight year old boy had no idea what can happen. Once they almost set the whole neighborhood on fire the people of Viviane park came to help put out the fire. That day Thomas S. Monson learned to be obedient and to choose the right.

" Obedience is the great test of life"
                                                          -Thomas S. Monson

Obedience is the test of life. Everyday you are told something to do and if you know it is the right thing then you must do it. When you come home and are told to clean your room or cook for the family, you do that because you are being obedient. You choose to be obedient and if you choose to be obedient you are choosing the right. You are heading in a good direction in life.If you are not obedient you are heading in the wrong direction in life. Choosing the wrong is not cleaning your room when you are told so. Make life easier for yourself and those you care for by being obedient and passing that obedience test. If you are non obedient then you must change and choose the right by becoming obedient. If you follow the rules, then you will do well in life and at this test of obedience.
