What I want to remember:

One way to learn about the responsibilities the Lord has given me (Elder Pingree, “I Have a Work for Thee”):

PRIVATE JOURNAL: Write your message outside this app. There is nowhere to type here, and nothing you choose is stored or sent; it disappears when the page is refreshed.
A careful note. “Foreordination does not guarantee that individuals will receive certain callings or responsibilities. Such opportunities come in this life as a result of the righteous exercise of agency.” Topics and Questions, “Foreordination”. See also President Nelson, Decisions for Eternity.
