"Opportunities" by Susan Warner is a story where Matilda Englefield, fresh from her baptism, explores what it means to be a member of the Church and navigate the expectations of her family and the world around her. From the opening scene where she prepares breakfast with her moody sister Maria, Matilda’s gentle and optimistic spirit guides her interactions, like when she meets a playful boy named Lem while running errands. As she contemplates her new role in the Church, conversations with her Aunt Candy push her to understand that true faith involves growth and helping others, especially those less fortunate, leading her on a path of service and heartfelt charity.
