Obedience

"When obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irritation; instead of a stumbling block, it becomes a building block"

James E.Faust

This quote means that when your dong the right thing then its like a building block because its like your doing something good which is being obedient. When your doing something wrong that is no good then its a a stumbling block because it is something that won't do anything good for you or anyone else. Its like you failing on doing something right because you keep on choosing the wrong. For example, when you are told to do something because a adult told you too then the right thing is to obey and be able to do what you are told and it becomes a building block. When you choose to not not obey and take it as a irritation then its a stumbling block because it is just going to bring you no good. This quote is proven to show how things are wrong or right because when you do something good then its like your building up ad becoming a good person. Doing or choosing the wrong thing will just be a stumble block that will remind you of the negative things. Also, it would just show what kind of person you are and it would be another mistake of yours. When you do the right thing and obey than you will be building blocks. Its better to build them than to be stumbling all around them.

Summary on Obeydience

       Thomas and his friend Danny  were being disobedient because they decided to burn the roots and plants on fire. They were told to not do that but they still went on and they did it. They also realized that they weren't going to be able to turn off the fire so they were in big trouble. They were never told to grab the matches and make a fire and burn them. They were in trouble by not being able to put out the fire that they had to call for help because they had panicked. From that day Thomas learned that obedience was the great test in life. He thought this because he had diobeyed and it had consequences.
