One of the things that you learn from that First Vision was that the heavens are open, and God is anxious to communicate with His children upon the earth, provided they ask for it. What can you do in your own lives now as you go forward to be entitled to personal revelation in your own life? You'll need to have that. Who am I going to marry?

What job to take. Yeah, what's my occupation going to be?

What about my family? So let's talk about how you can increase the likelihood that you can receive personal revelation to guide you in your decisions. It's really exercising the gift of the Holy Ghost in your favor. Some people have the gift, and they've never unwrapped it. Mm-hmm. So we'd like to take the ribbon off the gift and talk about the actual gift of the Holy Ghost and your ability to receive revelation. Do you have any thoughts on that, any experience? Landon, go ahead. Well, you can increase your ability to receive revelation by staying worthy and repenting often. Being worthy, repenting often. Well, repentance is continuous, isn't it. I think repentance is often misunderstood by people. They think that if they've broken a window, they need to repair the window, and that repentance is complete, which it is. But repentance really means living more like Jesus. So, the scriptures say that I'm supposed to call everybody to repentance, even my colleagues, and they're to call me to repentance. We're to cry repentance to all the people, which means be converted, love the Lord, obey His commandments. So repenting often is a very good comment, Landon. Thank you very much. We repent every day. Not that we've made serious mistakes, but if you practice a piano, you'll get better on the piano, and you become just a little more proficient in whatever you're trying to do. Good. Any other thoughts? Please, Nauvoo. I think making sure your relationship with Heavenly Father is strong. That's a really big part of being able to receive revelations. And how do you do that? Talking to him often, praying to him. Yeah. It's called prayer, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. Isn't it a wonderful thing that you can converse with Heavenly Father anytime you want? Any of you have smartphones? You can call pretty much any time you want, but you have to pay monthly service fees. You have to make sure your battery's charged every night. But with prayer, you don't have to do any of that. Heavenly Father has made it possible for us to communicate with him. And as we do, it makes it more possible for him to give us personal revelation.
