Urban Poly Princess

I wore my tennis shoes to walk to work. WOW!!! What a difference. Yesterday I wore my 3-inch wedges. They were comfortable BUT I had to watch where I stepped all the time. NOT with the tennis shoes. I carried my short low-heeled boots with me. Now I'm at work and they are on my feet.

My brother called me to see how I was doing and if I figured something out. I told him my plan and he was really happy I figured out a way to deal with this. He has a monster tax bill. I told him I'd be at his house next week Wednesday and Thursday nights for ULA conference.

I prayed for help to get all this stuff done today AND Heavenly Father is helping me! The ONLY Tongan student here is a guy who just got off his mission AND has a fiance who I think is his high school girlfriend. I asked him if he can take me to get my loan at this scuzzy place AND then to buy my starter. I told him I'd buy him lunch at Mo Bettah Steaks if he did. He agreed!!!

It is so EASY for me to ask Poly boys for help. They are trained to help their sisters, cousins, aunts WHENEVER they are asked. I asked my friend to let me know if he could help me run a couple errands BUT although it would be nice if he and ALL people lived their lives just to serve me, I know that isn't reality and I told him not to worry if he couldn't that I'd figure something out AND I did!!! I am loooving how this turned out!!! I just feel sooo much better.

2 Nephi 12
10 O ye wicked ones, enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for the fear of the Lord and the glory of his majesty shall smite thee.

11 And it shall come to pass that the lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 For the day of the Lord of Hosts soon cometh upon all nations, yea, upon every one; yea, upon the proud and lofty, and upon every one who is lifted up, and he shall be brought low.
13 Yea, and the day of the Lord shall come upon all the cedars of Lebanon, for they are high and lifted up; and upon all the oaks of Bashan;
17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low; and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
Isaiah is such a beautiful writer. He uses details and images that make everything seem so lifelike. The written word can be so great but today competes with video and audio. I feel so blessed to live at a time when so many different forms of media exist.

Catch the Wave - Russell M. Nelson
Now an unprecedented wave of enthusiasm for missionary work is sweeping the entire earth. Since President Monson’s historic announcement last October, thousands of elders, sisters, and couples have been called, and many more are preparing.
Young men and women, your education is ever important—to us, to you, and to God. Where feasible, if you wish to attend a college or university after your mission, we encourage you to apply to your institution of choice before beginning your mission.
You adults, catch the wave with help for the spiritual, physical, and financial preparation of future missionaries. Pinching pennies for piggy banks becomes part of your practice.
This wave of truth and righteousness is wondrous! It is not man-made! It comes from the Lord, who said, “I will hasten my work in its time.”
I looove this!!! I'm grateful I am able to meet many people even in Logan who are not enjoying the blessings they could enjoy through coming to Christ by being baptized as a member of his church, of his kingdom!!!

I am feeling FABULOUS!!!
