We don’t need to be sustained by our wards to be sensitive.” NeedsKindRealChristianWaterCallingSensitiveThoughtfulBe KindCompassionateBishopsBaptismAssignments Author:Chieko N. Okazaki
“Be spiritually independent enough that your relationship with the Savior doesn't depend on your circumstances or on what other people say and do.

Your way.” PeopleWayEnoughSpiritualPresidentDependsCircumstancesIndependentIndependenceReliefSaviorOur RelationshipBishopsRelief Society Book:Lighten Up! Source: Lighten Up!
