Thinking Celestial

 So my inklings study this next six months will be the talk where  President Nelson challenged us to think celestial.  Emily brought out that when she watches movies she always picks a character she would be and it is usually a supporting role but that this talk made her think of the Lion King and she always loved the Rafiki character.  She pointed out the part when Rafiki comes to  Simba  when he is in a very dark place and tells him to come look in the water.  Simba sees his own reflection and is clearly disappointed, but then Rafiki tells him "look harder"   Rafiki  touches the water with his finger which ripples out and whispers "he lives in you" and that is when Simba begins his change and the course of the movie changes.  She said she feels this is what President Nelson did for us.  He tapped the water and told us to remember who lives in us and look harder.  To have our eyes always on the celestial which is all the Father has.  We can so easily short change ourselves when we lose sight of that goal.  Simba had lost sight of his purpose and was wandering directionless and having a care free, live in the moment kind of life until his perspective is changed with the help of someone wiser.  I am excited to study the talks that we were just given!
