Remember
President Pimentel’s ‘Til We Meet Again
Remember the sacred nature of your call. You are called by a Prophet of God and in
times past would have been sustained and released in General Conference. Next time you attend conference, imagine
yourself being released with a vote of thanks, a job well done, by 14 million
members of the Church across the world. That is the magnitude of your call.
Remember the Pimentel’s Plateau Theory. If you stay back from the edge of the cliff
you won’t accidently fall off and get hurt. This applies to keeping the
commandments. Set your fences far enough away from the edge to protect yourself
from danger. You can have a wonderful
life – away from the edge.
Released from your mission? NO! Instead of being released, pretend
that you are being transferred – with you as Mission President. Be for yourself
what your mission president has been for you. He has given you rules to follow,
encouragement, spiritual guidance, etc. do the same for yourself. Take the good things that you learned from
your mission and build on those principles.
