“When our friend Bilbo Baggins felt the call to adventure
stir within him, he decided to get a good night’s rest, enjoy a hearty
breakfast, and start out first thing in the morning. When Bilbo awoke, he
noticed his house was a mess, and he was almost distracted from his noble plan.
But then his friend Gandalf came and asked, ‘Whenever are you going to come?’ And
so, the very normal and unremarkable hobbit found himself darting out his front
door to the path of adventure so quickly that he forgot his hat, walking stick,
and pocket handkerchief. He even left his second breakfast unfinished. If you
and I have felt the stirrings to join the great adventure of living and sharing
what our loving Heavenly Father prepared for us a long time ago, I assure you,
today is the day to follow God’s Son and our Savior on His path of service and
discipleship.” – Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf
