Spiritual: In Jesus the Christ Ch 27, Elder Talmage
comments on the parables of the Lost Sheep, Lost Coin, and The Prodigal
Son. He says this of the three: one was lost because they wandered,
one was lost not necessarily because of what they did, but because it
was not properly cared for and looked after, and the third willfully
severed his ties. This draws powerful parallels to our less actives,
and how important it is to not only look for those who are lost, but to
take preventative action by diligently caring for the flock and making
sure there is no neglect. This falls under establishing the Church, not
just helping it grow. The careful and structure growth of a vineyard
is far more useful than that of a wild patch that just continues to
grow, no matter how fast it is growing! The one will continue to
produce while the other will eventually turn into unfruitful wilderness
No, I was not transferred, and
neither was Sister Roper! Kami pa rin sa darating transfer (it is still
us this coming transfer)! I am so grateful. We have in no way reached
even a part of our potential together. I am
excited to achieve that this transfer, especially because I think I am
going to keep my pattern--two with each companion! It is now or never!
My behavior on Sunday will serve as a funny (because
it was pretty darn funny). Another funny is that on Friday I
straightened my hair for fun just to see what it would look like. Not
bad actually. It about reaches my shoulders when it is straight--it is
genuinely much longer now. I even have a real pony tail, even if it is
short. Back to the story. So I was also curious to see what my
straight hair would so in the humidity. By the end of the day it was in
really big soft curls, as if I had taken a big barreled curling iron to
it. It was pretty nice looking. So the funny.....my shadow looked
like Darth Vader, he he. So I made Darth Vader noises. That was fun.
About pictures....I will try really hard next week. Promise.
I love you all so, so much! Have a great week!
