Fun Fact


I end up sounding like a whiny teenager in most of my prayers
Help me with this project. Help me to sleep well. Help me to get better, help me to do well, help me to get this done, help me to understand... help me to remember....

help me
help me
help me.
My realization of this fact, coupled with my new calling as part of the compassionate service committee, has made me change my prayers a little bit. 
Oh, I still ask for a LOT. 
But I make sure to ask God to lead me to someone I can help.

In the past 2 weeks, I've had 7 different people ask me how to get somewhere on campus.
I know that this is an answer to prayer because no one in their right minds would actually ask me for directions... I'm no good at that.
And yet, I haven't led anyone astray.

 "And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they 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."
(Ether 12:27)

So that's cool.

  2. Congratulations on your new calling! One of my favorites. Make cookies and make a list of people who have cars in case one of your sisters has an emergency.
