Tuesday

Ether 8
15 And it came to pass that thus they did agree with Akish. And Akish did administer unto them the oaths which were given by them of old who also sought power, which had been handed down even from Cain, who was a murderer from the beginning.
16 And they were kept up by the power of the devil to administer these oaths unto the people, to keep them in darkness, to help such as sought power to gain power, and to murder, and to plunder, and to lie, and to commit all manner of wickedness and whoredoms.
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 secret combination, even as they of old; which combination is most abominable and wicked above all, in the sight of God;
19 For the Lord worketh not in secret combinations, neither doth he will that man should shed blood, but in all things hath forbidden it, from the beginning of man.
20 And now I, Moroni, do not write the manner of their oaths and combinations, for it hath been made known unto me that they are had among all people, and they are had among the Lamanites.

21 And they have caused the destruction of this people of whom I am now speaking, and also the destruction of the people of Nephi.
22 And whatsoever nation 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 blood of his saints, which shall be shed by them, shall always cry unto him from the ground for vengeance upon them and yet he avenge them not.
Secret combinations is to me organized crime. Sad that a beautiful woman would have such a plan. Sadder still that he father went along with this and that neither of them held marriage sacred. We really are lucky today to be able to get to know each other and not just base everything off the way someone looks ALTHOUGH the way someone looks is extremely important.
We went to a corn maze in Lehi. It was alright but weird because I don't know anyone. One of the Elder's Quorum presidents, Steve someone had his birthday yesterday. I remember liking his suit, tie and shoes Sunday buuut he is short like TOO SHORT kind of like Devin. I talked to him a little bit but he isn't anyone I'd want to get to know better AT ALL although I did like how he was dressed Sunday. NO ONE dresses well or at least from what I've seen so far. 

Of course there are always "special" people in every ward OF COURSE I somehow end up riding with them. There's another Elder's Quorum president who is I think Japanese. He's not fine BUUUT he is Asian and not ugly, OF COURSE he has a girlfriend and OF COURSE she is totally sweet and goes out of her way to be friendly to me. AND she's cute too. She has an accent I can't place. He's Asian but American. I think she's from South America but I don't really know it could be Armenia. She has my coloring fair with black hair.

So special person 1 who I sat by in the ride down to to corn maze is Tommy or Timmy. He lives at home with his parents, doesn't work BUT is writing a novel although he doesn't have "any training" as in he hasn't been to school. Uh huh, yeah NOOO!!! Next is Michael who sat with this other older couple who are affiliated with the ward somehow. Bro. Bevan drives with his wife. She looks amazing. She is probably size 5, dresses well and looks attractive. 

Michael ends up experiencing the maze with me. He has some sort of lisp so you have to listen veeery carefully to him when he speaks. He is tall but unattractive WITH glasses AND neither he nor Tommy interested me in ANYTHING they talked about. YES I end up spending the entire time with him. He is nice but YEAH NOOO!!! AGAIN. I want to escape but I don't know anyone to escape with.

The other couple who rode with us get lost in the maze FOR TWO HOURS. So we sit there waiting for them and ticking off Bro. Bevan. I took off my jacket at first because it was hot BUT after sitting there so long it gets cold and I move to a fire pit and sit beside it.

Maybe there are fine boys who just don't attend FHE. BUUUT I want a fine boy who DOES attend FHE. Is it too much to ask that JUST ONE dress well? Maybe it is. With the exception of Curtis my guy friends who dressed well had a gay vibe. Curtis is clean too. Can't he just suddenly have to move here for something??? YES wishful stupid thinking. I need to keep attending these things, keep smiling and wait for the spirit to hit me upside my head.  

I get why those Tongan girls in my ward don't attend FHE or any activities other than Relief Society activities. It's the same sort of, "Let's gather and play board games all night," mentality that I thought would kill me when I lived in Logan. I'm not going to disappear in my Poly world again however although that is very easy for me to do now that I live here. If I just do my part Heavenly Father will bless me even if it is in the next life. AND I just have to keep trying and I will end up having fun moments along the way even if it isn't continuous. 

I like how I revamped my resume yesterday at the LDS Employment office. I'm going to apply for my 2 jobs today then hit up a store. I need to really change my eating habits. Yesterday I started with a protein shake but then I ate pizza, Mexican corn and Mexican popsicles for lunch and dinner. I love dim sum because shu mai and har gow are pretty much just protein. I have to buy some avacados, veggies and more readily accessible protein like meatballs. I might buy a bamboo steamer so I don't have to make that much dim sum at a time. I am going to make it next time. 

I love EMZ. I was more tired this morning thanks to going to the corn maze. After EMZ is the best when I'm full of sweat, wide awake and feeling good because I just worked out.
