Monday

Moving is consuming my thoughts and stressing me the hell out in my head anyway. My mini-port cord or my HDMI cord or BOTH isn't working. That ticks me off.

Yesterday during choir I was complaining that I was hungry. I WANTED practice to move quickly. Jennifer Lugo was sitting in front of me and she invited me to dinner and to go to the bishop's fireside with her. Dinner was take-out from Juniper restaurant. It was good. She had 2 roast beef, mashed potatoes, green beans and rolls in styrofoam she just nuked in the microwave. She is an interesting person. She's taught Spanish at Logan High School for 14 years. She loves reading and has MANY books at her home. In addition  to a bookshelf she has downstairs she told me she has 3 upstairs. She owns a Blackhawk condo on the same road Laura Vernon who I visit teach does.

She takes over 20 various pills in the morning and then at dinner. She has MS which affects the nervous system and people differently. It is a brain disorder. She said she's experienced paralysis and then woke up one morning and couldn't see. She was originally going  to be a musician, her first love, when MS made her choose a career teaching Spanish. She's taken her Spanish classes to various parts of South America, Europe and Mexico. She can't travel as much anymore but instead takes temple road trips yearly.

Mark wanted her to have dinner with he and the sister missionaries. She can't because she'll be on one of her temple trips I told Mark I'd do it instead. He told me we'd have to plan what we'd feed the sisters. I told him NO you will plan everything, I'm just showing up to make it legal. This is later this month on the 25th, a week day.

3 Nephi 21
12 And my people who are a remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles, yea, in the midst of them as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who, if he go through both treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.


Interesting imagery. Since I am from the house of Israel as are all Polynesian people I am interested in how the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles as a lion among the beasts in the forest-treadeth down and teareth to pieces. REALLY???!!! What is this referring to???

I found a website/forum discussing  this BUT the views are all apocalyptic and extreme so I left that. I will read what my institute commentary books have to say about this if anything. The Lord DOESN'T work the way this forum suggested.
