[MUSIC PLAYING] Our Father in Heaven loves all of His children and desires that they know and understand His plan of happiness. Therefore, he calls prophets, those who have been ordained with power and authority to act in God's name for the salvation of His children.

To be in harmony with heaven's divine purposes, we sustain the prophet and choose to live according to his words. This is so pretty.

This is a ticket to a real adventure. If you want it-- You mean, like go off the path? Isn't that kind of dangerous? No. See these lines here? The closer they are together, the steeper the terrain. So this spot, right here, is that cliff up there. Easy. Use the lines. No danger. Well, I vote we get you back to your job on time. Plus it's getting kind of cold. Look. I heard of these fun cliffs you can push rocks off of. That sounds like fun, but why take the chance? Why not? [MUSIC PLAYING]

The Lord's house is a house of order. And we need never be deceived about where to look for answers to our questions, or uncertain about which voice to follow.

We need not be tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine. This doesn't seem right. Of course, it is, right, Colton? He knows the way, don't you? Yeah. It's this way. [MUSIC PLAYING]

Are you sure you're on the right way? Yeah. Yeah. Ahh. Oh. Ow. Are you OK? [MUSIC PLAYING]

It's got to be downhill.

You guys, I don't feel good. Stop, Colton. Let's take a look at that map you've been using. Oh, no. It must have fallen out of my pocket. It's cold. The sun is going down. You really messed us up, Colton. According to the world's standards, following the prophet may be unpopular, politically incorrect, or socially unacceptable. But following the prophet is always right. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. We're in trouble. We don't have time for this. We don't have time for anything else.

We may choose to ignore, trifle with, trample upon, or rebel against the words of Christ spoken by his ordained servants. But the Savior taught that those who do so will be cut off from his covenant people.

Through the prophets, the Lord reveals the truths of salvation, the salvation that is in Christ. And He charts the course leading to eternal life.

The words of the prophets are like manna to our souls. When we partake, we are blessed, protected, and preserved, both temporally and spiritually. When we feast upon their words, we learn how to come unto Christ and live. We made it. Yeah. [MUSIC PLAYING]
