We must ask our Heavenly Father to help us learn what our talents are, we must be willing to spend time and effort to develop the talent we are seeking, we must have faith in ourselves and that our Heavenly Father will help us, we must learn the skills necessary to develop our talent, we must practice our talent and we must share our talents! So go out and share you talents with others this week!!

Next weeks lesson is Chapter 35 - Obedience.
