A lot done BUT a lot more to do!!!

Posted by 2DI4 at 10:15 AM

I found a recipe to make a hamburger "minced pie" using a seasoning mix and frozen Pepperidge farm puff pastry. I have everything to make it but the seasoning mix. I ran out of laundry detergent last night and I have 2 loads of laundry left to do.

Yesterday I made another DI trip to get rid of some old cookbooks, All my shoes I weeded, this ugly plastic Halloween canister from my visiting teachers and and all my Summer Margarita cups. Why did I buy all of that junk when I first moved here? I kept my pitcher that is in good condition since I rarely use it along with 6 matching glasses I haven't used at all. I also had these BBQ tongs that were black plastic with blue tips. They were ugly and DIDN'T work at the BBQ I bought them for. I STILL have some bad DVDs I got from the dollar store and this mini ugly flower basket I got from my first visiting teachers.

I like silk flowers BUT I have taste!!!

I was hoping all my coats and jackets would fit in one of my laundry bags BUT I'm glad I have 2 because they did fit in both. I'd like to pack all my books/folders/papers today. I have stuff in every room even though I don't actively collect books here like I did in Salt Lake.

Ether 8 
10 And now, therefore, let my father send for Akish, the son of Kimnor; and behold, I am fair, and I will dance before him, and I will please him, that he will desire me to wife; wherefore if he shall desire of thee that ye shall give unto him me to wife, then shall ye say: I will give her if ye will bring unto me the ahead of my father, the king.
17 And it was the daughter of Jared who put it into his heart to search up these things of old; and Jared put it into the heart of Akish; wherefore, Akish administered it unto his kindred and friends, leading them away by fair promises to do whatsoever thing he desired. 18 And it came to pass that they formed a asecret combination, even as they of old; which combination is most abominable and wicked above all, in the sight of God;
21 And they have caused the adestruction of this people of whom I am now speaking, and also the destruction of the people of Nephi.
22 And whatsoever anation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed; for the Lord will not suffer that the bblood of his saints, which shall be shed by them, shall always cry unto him from the ground for cvengeance upon them and yet he avenge them not.


 25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the afreedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar whobbeguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hathchardened the hearts of men that they have dmurdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning.
I try to check myself for the diva/princess thing which for the most part I have in check BUT sometimes I fail to monitor it sufficiently. I expect to be treated well ALL THE TIME. It always takes me by surprise when that doesn't happen. I try to treat people well all the time too. 
What is sad to me is that Akish began this over concern for her father who was depressed and sad over his loss of power. Living during this time must've been horrible. The daughter of Jared knows her power as a beautiful woman. People really haven't changed much over time. As daughters of God, as his children we should be as beautiful outside as we are inside. I appreciate when men take the time to look good.
Today is Brandon and Lynette's wedding which I want to attend but it is also the ward Amazing Race. I agreed to help with the ward tonight. 
Neil L. Anderson - It's a Miracle
President Thomas S. Monson has said: “We take most seriously the Savior’s mandate … , ‘Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.’”11“This … cause … will continue to go forth, changing and blessing lives. … No force in the entire world can stop the work of God.”12

If you’re not a full-time missionary with a missionary badge pinned on your coat, now is the time to paint one on your heart—painted, as Paul said, “not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God.”13 And returned missionaries, find your old missionary tag. Don’t wear it, but put it where you can see it. The Lord needs you now more than ever to be an instrument in His hands. All of us have a contribution to make to this miracle.
Our desire to share the gospel takes all of us to our knees, and it should, because we need the Lord’s help.
We respect each person’s choice and timing. The Lord said, “Let every man choose for himself.”26 A person’s lack of interest need not diminish our bonds of friendship and love. Whether or not the invitation is accepted as you invite others to “come and see,” you will feel the approval of the Lord and, with that approval, an added measure of faith to share your beliefs again and again.
For those using the Internet and mobile phones, there are new ways to invite others to “come and see.” Let’s make sharing our faith online more a part of our daily life. LDS.org, Mormon.org, Facebook, Twitter—all provide opportunities.
We are all in this together. With fellow ward members and missionaries, we plan and pray and help one another. Please keep the full-time missionaries in your thoughts and prayers. Trust them with your family and friends. The Lord trusts them and has called them to teach and bless those who seek Him.
