    Willing to Take Upon Ourselves

    In “Are You Still Willing?”, Elder Kevin W.

    At the beginning of his address “Be Perfected in Him“, Elder Paul V. Johnson states “Our Heavenly Father and our Savior, Jesus Christ, have the power to save us and transform us. They can help us become as They are.” That’s as far as I got before pondering on that last sentence. Do I really…
