Reflection on Thomas S. Monsons Story

When Thomas S. Monson was a little boy he and his friend wanted to make a campfire. They pulled out many weeds in an open grass field, after a few minutes they realized that doing this would get them no where. In that moment Thomas had the idea of lighting up the weeds with a few matches, so they hurried to his house to go get some without anyone noticing. They lit the weeds and after a few seconds they noticed that they had no way of controlling the fire. They where afraid of what might happen so they called for help. Many neighbors came rushing out of their houses and directly to the lake to get water to turn off the fire before it caused major damages. Luckily they were able to burn out the fire, no major damages were done and nobody got hurt. In that moment Thomas realized that "obedience is the great test of life." Its very important to consider being obedient because disobedience only gets you into trouble.
