Quote/Principle
When we are lost we can find our way home.  

“Now, if for any reason you individually or as a family have lost your way, then you need only apply the Savior’s teachings from Luke, chapter 15, to correct your course. Here the Savior tells of the effort of a shepherd searching for his lost sheep, of a woman searching for a lost coin, and of the welcome received by the prodigal son returning home. Why did Jesus teach these parables? He wanted us to know that none of us will ever be so lost that we cannot find our way again through His Atonement and His teachings. As you seek to live the gospel and doctrine of Christ, the Holy Ghost will guide you and your family. You will have a spiritual GPS to tell you always where you are and where you are going.”
M. Russell Ballard, That the Lost May be Found, Ensign Magazine May 2012

A compass leads us in the correct direction.  The Living the Gospel and relying on the Spirit will lead us back home to our father.
