29 Wherefore, he did pursue them, and on the morrow he did overtake them; and they fought again with the sword. And it came to pass that when they had ^aall fallen by the sword, save it were Coriantumr and Shiz, behold Shiz had fainted with the loss of blood.

 30 And it came to pass that when Coriantumr had leaned upon his sword, that he rested a little, he smote off the head of Shiz.

 32 And it came to pass that ^aCoriantumr fell to the earth, and became as if he had no life.

 33 And the Lord spake unto Ether, and said unto him: Go forth. And he went forth, and beheld that the words of the Lord had all been fulfilled; and he ^afinished his ^brecord; (and the ^chundredthpart I have not written) and he hid them in a manner that the people of Limhi did find them.

 34 Now the last words which are written by ^aEther are these: Whether the Lord will that I be translated, or that I suffer the will of the Lord in the flesh, it mattereth not, if it so be that I am^bsaved in the kingdom of God. Amen.

Ether ends as horribly as it has been throughout the most part of the book. The Jaredite nation is preserved and brought across the waters to the promised land only to end in massive bloodshed and fighting to the bitter end. Only Ether is spared to preserve the record of the people. Although there were intermittent periods of righteousness there is no sense of family, loyalty or selflessness. It's difficult for me to imagine anyone escaping that type of harsh wicked life. I don't see any hope there. I don't see any joy or even hope. How could anyone even conceive of something better in those circumstances?

Why were we given this bleak record? Sure I get that we can see how power corrupts if we forget the source of all power. How much evil can spread with wicked rulers. It is all pretty heartbreaking.

The Lord's Way - Elder Stanley G. Ellis

One thing we have often been taught is to bloom where we are planted. 

Somehow, someway I have been planted in Logan, Utah. While it is a blessing for me in many ways I STILL DO NOT CHOOSE TO LIVE HERE. I can't wait to leave when I've completed my time here. Despite that I created CVLA. I love that and it is doing very well. I also want to be an amazing Real Estate Agent. I decided I'm going to start getting my nails done again. It may be purely psychological BUUUT I had them done for over 5 years straight and I stopped maybe a month after I moved here. I need to start it again. I don't feel professional until my nails are done the way I want them to be. I want to have a profitable real estate career on the side. I'm not afraid of hard work, it just needs to be profitable hard work. 

Something that has stayed with me since that success seminar, If it's to be it's up to me!!!
