Scripture of the Day: Ether 12:27-
"And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness, I give unto men weakness that thye may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."
-I have just recently had a humbling experience. I got really irritated with some of the missionaries in the MTC because they blatently were flouting the rules and when we warned them that they needed to stop were really mouthy. I am still not happy with them, but I have come to realize that even though I am incredibly perturbed with them, they will most likely learn the hard way the importance of quiet obedience. It is not my job to contend with them and tell them how stupid they are, they will figure that out several times over by the end of their missions. I am not as irate as I was and am now moving on to pity, because they still don't understand a principle that I have had reiterated to me all my life and started practicing on my own when I was thirteen. I need to forgive them and let my boss take care of any of their antics in future.

In other news, two of the six people that expressed an interest in the dinner group can't do it due to their schedules, so I need more people! I actually had a pretty good day, I was barely late to my first class got to work on time and to my last and favorite class of the day. Marriage Prep, it sounds corny, I know. I love the really in depth conversations we have in there and the things that we learn, like spousal preeminence and keeping sacred things sacred in marriage, not practicing triangulation. So cool, it is a really interesting concept that I totally agree with. It is hard enough for your parents to let you go off to get married without making it even harder for them to love your husband by bad talking him behind his back to them. Just work it out with your spouse and don't get anyone else involved.
