Friday

Posted by 2DI4 at 4:52 PM

I stayed up until around 4am to finish my Korean Drama Mary Stayed Up All Night. This morning or rather afternoon I got up and took the roll to my RS president since I decided to leave tomorrow. I bought some hangers and disposable scrubbing bubbles to scrub my toilets. The Walmart by my house doesn't have them and then I even checked Maceys and Smith's which don't have them either. Anytime I need them I have to drive all the way to North Logan. I got some chocolate cupcakes that were on sale or rather day-old cupcakes but they still taste fresh. They had angel food cake for 1.50 so I bought some strawberries, cool whip and hersey's chocolate syrup. I also got tomatoes and broccoli and a loaf of sesame french bread for my version of Bahn Min or Vietnamese sandwiches. Mayo, tomatoes, deli ham, onions, and lots of cilantro. I'm definitely getting a glazed pork sandwich when I'm in Salt Lake City from O Mai the restaurant everyone online raves about in Salt Lake City.

3 Nephi 6
 14 And thus there became a great inequality in all the land, insomuch that the church began to be broken up; yea, insomuch that in the thirtieth year the church was broken up in all the land save it were among a few of the Lamanites who were converted unto the true faith; and athey would not depart from it, for they were firm, and steadfast, and immovable, willing with allbdiligence to keep the commandments of the Lord.
29 Therefore they did combine against the people of the Lord, and enter into a covenant to destroy them, and to deliver those who were guilty of murder from the grasp of justice, which was about to be administered according to the law.

28 And they did enter into a acovenant one with another, yea, even into that covenant which was given by them of old, which covenant was given and administered by the bdevil, to combine against all righteousness.                                                                                             30 And they did set at defiance the law and the rights of their country; and they did covenant one with another to destroy the governor, and to establish a aking over the land, that the land should no more be at bliberty but should be subject unto kings.
In the beginning of this chapter the cities are being built up and life seems fantastic for a season. Eventually however pride corrupts a people who forget how the Lord has protected them. There is such power in oaths and covenants. These are evil described here and in opposition to the incredible covenants we can take part in.
We Are Daughters of Our Heavenly Father - Elaine S. Dalton
As daughters of God we are each unique and different in our circumstances and experiences. And yet our part matters—because wematter. Our daily contributions of nurturing, teaching, and caring for others may seem mundane, diminished, difficult, and demeaning at times, and yet as we remember that first line in the Young Women theme—“We are daughters of our Heavenly Father, who loves us”—it will make all the difference in our relationships and our responses.
Early this morning I was thinking about my relationship with my friend. I didn't realize it at the time BUT I knew right away that I wanted to get to know him better but I usually just have to do a little work and the guy takes care of the rest. That did not happen and I thought I was alright with that but I'm really not. I tried to spend time with him AND I would've treated him if I could've BUT I was in financial hell. Actually that's a VERY good thing when I look back at it because I don't like to pay for ANY guy EVER. 
Recently when my friend was here I deliberately went out of my way to spend time with him. It was so obvious to me that I should be developing that. I have no doubt he knows that too. He knows what he is supposed to do and I feel confident that I will be blessed with someone else if he never does anything. This was really clear to me this morning. 
I'm grateful for this gospel and so many blessings I have received.
