Urban Poly Princess

11 And he hath power given unto him from the Father to redeem them from their sins because of repentance; therefore he hath senthis angels to declare the tidings of the conditions of repentance, which bringeth unto the power of the Redeemer, unto the salvation of their souls.
 36 And it came to pass that he turned him about, and behold, he saw through the cloud of darkness the faces of Nephi and Lehi; and behold, they did shine exceedingly, even as the faces of angels. And he beheld that they did lift their eyes to heaven; and they were in the attitude as if talking or lifting their voices to some being whom they beheld.
44 And Nephi and Lehi were in the midst of them; yea, they were encircled about; yea, they were as if in the midst of a flaming fire, yet it did harm them not, neither did it take hold upon the walls of the prison; and they were filled with that joy which is unspeakable and full of glory.

I hope my writing test is received well and that it results in an interview. I wish I'd hear from anyone else about the position I applied for at the city library and then also the one I applied to with the state library. 

It took FOREVER to figure out how to make a very short paragraph into a story about a 10-year-old girl WITHOUT adding anything false or made-up BUUUT I FINALLY did it!!!

This is the last thing I was told to write something like what the Ensign prints in LDS voices:

12 And it was because of the pride of their hearts, because of their exceeding riches, yea, it was because of their oppression to thepoor, withholding their food from the hungry, withholding their clothing from the naked, and smiting their humble brethren upon the cheek, making a mock of that which was sacred, denying the spirit of prophecy and of revelation, murdering, plundering, lying, stealing, committing adultery, rising up in great contentions, and deserting away into the land of Nephi, among the Lamanites—

One of the million jobs I applied for was an editor with the church magazines. They sent me a writing test consisting of editing and writing. It is alright. I have to scan and then email it to the man who sent it to me. Shem Flitton. I think he has another name because I just tried to google him without success. Looking again at his email he is an Editorial and Writing team supervisor for the Church Magazines. I'm grateful he sent me the test. I plan to slay it.

Time to finish that thing up now.

7 And there being but little timber upon the face of the land, nevertheless the people who went forth became exceedingly expertin the working of cement; therefore they did build houses of cement, in the which they did dwell.
15 But behold, there are many books and many records of every kind, and they have been kept chiefly by the Nephites.
27 Thus we may see that the Lord is merciful unto all who will, in the sincerity of their hearts, call upon his holy name.
35 Nevertheless they did fast and pray oft, and did wax stronger and stronger in their humility, and firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ, unto the filling their souls with joy and consolation, yea, even to the purifying and the sanctification of their hearts, which sanctification cometh because of their yielding their hearts unto God.

I am going to take a writing test today to work for the church priesthood committee I think. It was just one of those jobs I apply for and don't really want although I would enjoy working here. I'm supposed to print it then fill it out, scan the entire thing then email it back to the guy making the decision. I intend to spend the day completing this application.

We are paired with people at random and I was paired with Steve. What are the chances? It felt wrong. Is it ALWAYS going to feel wrong. What the hell is wrong with me? I was very specifically told NOT to do or go anywhere relationship-wise with Rich. I think because Heavenly Father knew I'd like him and get along with him as well as I did. Steve doesn't feel right but I don't feel like my Father in Heaven really cares if I go out with him or not. Probably because he knows it won't go anywhere.

SERIOUSLY what the hell is my problem and what is it going to take.

13 And behold, in the end of this book ye shall see that thisGadianton did prove the overthrow, yea, almost the entire destruction of the people of Nephi.
Secret combinations can be very influential.

Last night I stayed home and decorated my tree and did some laundry. I missed FHE which was shopping at Walmart for the needy families we raised money for at the auction. My RS was also cleaning the chapel which I missed. Now I need to work on attending things again. There are a lot of good men and I need to get married. There is no one I like however. Aren't I supdposed to feel something extra. I see good men who are financially stable. I should just have to determine the extent of their testimony. Weird. This is probably why I am still single. If I spend time with someone I can grow to love them. My Colton experience should have taught me that BUUUT I don't want to spend time with anyone really. 

I know I should figure something out then get confirmation from my Father in Heaven. After that at least I'll have an idea of someone I want to get to know better but I don't have that at all. Should I get to know Steve? I don't like that Annette likes him. I love her personality. She is overweight. I know I am too but I am gorgeous. There's this other tall girl that seems to stalk him. I don't know her name, I just know she is tall. I like his spirit, I just don't like that he's short and he probably never served a mission. I'm not going to compete for his attention and I don't like him enough to think about him a whole lot. Mike is super smart, has the Asian thing down AND he has this financial page on Facebook where he discusses the pluses and minuses of having a financial planner, how to prepare for retirement, whether real estate is an investment if you live on the property and how paying your taxes is really not a bad thing since you can invest that money you get throughout the year which is going to be less than the money invested over the year.

I love everything except his spiritual state which I'm not sure of yet. I am pretty sure Belinda likes him too. I really like her and she is Chinese-American born in Salt Lake too. I also think Emily has a thing for Steve. She is amazing. Why haven't either of them hooked up with these women. What is their problem? What is my problem? I need to figure out what to do then I can proceed.

Right now I don't care about anyone and I know I need to find someone and build a life with them. It is the plan and I believe in and trust that plan. Why do I STILL have such a problem with this?

I can't believe it's December already. Last night I made some homemade pizza crust. I wanted to use up my pulled pork so I made it teriyaki with some of my Aloha shoyu and sugar. Brown sugar would've been better and I just saw some this morning. Anyway I love this crust recipe I found last night. It is super easy. I used ALL of the pulled pork although I could've used half and made another pizza. I also put a bunch of spinach on it and lots of mozzarella cheese. I have so much of it because I got 2 big bags of shredded mozzarella from Costco.

11 And he went unto those that sent him, and they all entered intoa covenant, yea, swearing by their everlasting Maker, that theywould tell no man that Kishkumen had murdered Pahoran.
Evil covenant. There must be opposition in all things.
Tonight we are shopping at Walmart for FHE and then next Monday we'll be wrapping gifts. We raised over 10,000. I thought that was totally impressive and it is. The Fort Union Mid Singles ward has over 700 members however and they raised over 35,000. That is amazing.

Tuesday I'm watching kids in the nursery for a couple hours. No one else signed up and I posted in our Ward Facebook group as well as our ward RS Facebook group. I guess I'll just see what happens. I was really hoping someone would sign up.
