Last night I remained in class because you need 120 hours of class time before you can take the test BUUUT I was sooo sleepy and it took EVERYTHING in me to stay awake. I made arrangements with my instructor to go there Friday at noon to review the class. He tapes everything so students who have to make up hours can do that. I was overwhelmed and NOT getting what was discussed.

Last night I was firm with my orthodontist. If I had just been this firm in the beginning I wouldn't have had any problems. He said he didn't want me to waste any money. I told him this was what I wanted to do. I told him I'd get invisalign IF I needed it AFTER using the red, white and blue aligner system I was on in the first place. He is really stubborn. IF he had just listened to me I'd be done now. He kept trying to give me aligners he made in-house that don't move my teeth at the gum line.I told him there was NOOO way I was getting braces but that if what I wanted to do didn't work, I'd do Invisilign. Invisilign will cost between 2800 and 4800. Completely doable if I have to do that although next year I wanted laser surgery. I would looove to get rid of my contacts forever. I hope I don't need it so I can have my laser surgery next year.

Ether 4
13 ^aCome unto me, O ye Gentiles, and I will show unto you the greater things, the knowledge which is hid up because of unbelief.

15 Behold, when ye shall rend that veil of unbelief which doth cause you to remain in your awful state of wickedness, and hardness of heart, and blindness of mind, then shall the great and marvelous things which have been ^ahid up from the foundation of the world from you—yea, when ye shall ^bcall upon the Father in my name, with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, then shall ye know that the Father hath remembered the covenant which he made unto your fathers, O house of Israel.

Lack of faith led to knowledge being kept from the people. The same principle can be applied to me. What knowledge do I not have because I don't have sufficient faith? Something to think about.

We Are One - Henry B. Eyring
The Lord made it clear at the very start of this last dispensation that we were to take the gospel to all the world. What He said to the few priesthood holders in 1831 He says to the many now. Whatever our age, capacity, Church calling, or location, we are as one called to the work to help Him in His harvest of souls until He comes again. He said to those first laborers in the vineyard:

I love that the work is hastening. The last article I read said missionaries now number 75,000. Elders can wear khakis and light suits now. I like that change. I love the khaki with navy jacket look. Very classic and it still looks great.
