"I would like you to walk down a road of my dreams and your dreams.... I would like you to think about when you were young men and young women, and think about your dreams there. Then ask yourself, what is it that brought you to BYU–Hawaii" asked Brian Carrington, Associate Secretary to the Presiding Bishopric of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, at the March 2, Tuesday devotional.
Carrington touched on the importance of fulfilling those dreams through the Lord’s will for us. He stated, "Go back to your dreams and ask yourself what it is He wants you to do. Almost everyone in this room, I'm going to easily bet, has a series of miracles that have brought them to Laie, this wonderful place; that brought you to this university, where you have an opportunity to do something that millions and millions of people would give their lives to be able to do."
He continued, "As a matter of fact, I'm sure you know those people. As you have gone through this road of life you’ve seen them; they're still back there. They didn’t have this opportunity. What is it that taught you English? What is it that put it in your mind that dream to go on a mission? What is it that put into your heart the desire to come to BYU–Hawaii? And what is it you’re supposed to do here?"
He went further, asking students why the Lord would place them here specifically at this time. To this he answered that through everything they should fear nothing [because] the Lord will be with [them] and [they] will conquer.
