Dream about JS.. what have you done with my name. With the sacrament, we take upon us the name of Christ. We will have to account to JC for what we have done with his name. Proverbs says a good name is better than riches. The name of the just is blessed.

Memories about his parents leaving him a good name. They grew up in poverty. They left a legacy of good names.

Lehi and Nephi of Nephi 3 named after first parents. How will our names be remembered?

Lay hold on every good gift, and avoid the unclean thing. (He is really getting emotional.)

Freedom of choice comes with moral responsibility; we can't chose the consequences of our actions. Story about cow and wheat field. The fence is there to protect you. The cow died. (emotions again) The commandments and rules are for your own good. Obedience saves you!

Wickedness never was happiness. Rules are not restrictive but protective. HF knows that we will all make mistakes, but the atonement allows us to repent.

Monson is the prophet. Stand before the savior to report what we have done with his good name.
