Oh, is it four-wheel drive all the time?
No.
I have to lock in the front hubs first.
Hey, did you check the weather?
Honey, it's going to be fine.
I didn't get this truck for you just so I
could sit here and look good.
Oh, so it's my truck now?
OK, I want to test it out.
Shiloh!
Come on!
Let's go, boy!
Yeah, you got [INAUDIBLE] too, don't you?
Come on!
It's going to be fine.
We need firewood.
I'm going to test out the truck.
I'll be back before sunset.
Lucky for you, I made you a sandwich.
Go get your firewood.
Thank you.
Go on.
We're getting close.
[DOG BARKING]
Yeah, you remember this?
Hey, this is it.
[WHEELS SPINNING]
Shiloh, what's happened?
[REVS ENGINE]
[WHEELS SPINNING]
You've got to be kidding me.
We are not stuck.
All right, let's try this again.
[REVS ENGINE]
[WHEELS SPINNING]
Come on.
[REVS ENGINE]
[WHEELS SPINNING]
[DOG BARKING]
Dear Heavenly Father, I need help.
Please send somebody who can help me get out of here.
In Jesus's name, amen.
Let's go, Shiloh.
I need you on the road so they'll know we're here.
Come on, let's go.
I'm going to go get the wood.
Stay.
[REVS CHAINSAW]
Good boy.
You did great.
Did you see any cars?
No?
Ah, good boy.
[COYOTES HOWLING IN THE DISTANCE]
Nobody came.
Buddy.
[DOG WHIMPERS]
Heavenly Father, I've done everything I know to do.
I thought You'd send somebody.
Please just help us get home.
[COYOTES HOWLING IN THE DISTANCE]
Come on, please.
[REVS ENGINE]
Please, come on.
Come on, move!
Move!
Yeah!
Thank You.
It was the load of wood that provided the traction necessary
for him to get out of the snow, to get back on the road,
and to move forward.
Sometimes we mistakenly may believe that happiness
is the absence of a load.
But bearing a load is a necessary and essential part
of the plan of happiness.
Each of us also carries a load.
Our individual load is comprised of demands and opportunities.
"Is the load I am carrying producing
the spiritual traction that will enable me to press forward
with faith in Christ on the strait and narrow path?
Is the load I am carrying creating
sufficient spiritual traction so I ultimately can return home
to Heavenly Father?"
As we are yoked with Him through sacred covenants
and receive the enabling power of His Atonement in our lives,
we will be blessed with spiritual traction.
