Think about some of your favorite Heroes and the amazing feats they accomplished.

Harry Potter conquered Voldemort and saved the wizarding world.

Luke Skywalker destroyed the Death Star and saved entire planets from complete destruction.

Rapunzel escaped from the evil witch and found her parents again.

Frodo destroyed “the ring to rule them all” allowing middle earth to finally live in peace.

The Sons of Mosiah succeeded in converting thousands of Lamanites to the gospel.

We love these stories! The characters teach us so many things about bravery and strength. They are courageous when the way seems hopeless, and they continue forward even when it’s hard. In the end, they accomplish things they never imagine they would!

Though each of their stories and journeys were different, every one of these characters had a specific thing in common:

They all left home.

Harry left the Dursley’s.

Luke left Tatooine.

Rapunzel left her tower.

Frodo left the shire.

The Sons of Mosiah left their kingdom.

Each of them had to take a step away from comfort and familiarity and embark into the unknown. They had to leave behind certain parts of themselves in order to being their hero’s journey.
