Repentance means a lot to me because I have been through my own personal trials and it is great to know that once you have fully repented of your sins, they will be forgotten. It does always worry me that I won't repent to the fullest or that I will miss out on an important step but as long as I want to do all the necessary things and my heart is in the right place. I am so grateful that Jesus atoned for my sins. He also has gone through what I have, so it is great to have someone that understands. When the Saviour prayed in the garden of Gethsemane, he took upon himself everyone's sins. I can barely cope with my own so I don't know what pain and suffering he experienced. I am very thankful!!! The steps of repentance are: Recognising what you have done is wrong Confession Restitution (putting things right) Remorse/Godly sorrow Saying sorry Repenting Forsaking (not doing it any more) Forgiveness

In Proverbs 4:7, it says that wisdom is a principal thing. Also in D&C 90:15 it says to learn about good things like languages and books. D&C 130:18-19 it says that whatever intelligence we gain on the earth will taken with us when we are resurrected. The more knowledge we gain on the earth, the bigger the advantage we will have in the future. It is definitely very important to learn as much as we can and try really hard to make the most of the opportunities we are given so we can develop and benefit when we return to heaven.
