I totally loved President Monson’s talk on service. And I did notice a lot of the talks were on loving God and each other.

When Holland was going to speak, I actually said to my family,”oh, it’s Holland, I love his talks” and I was so excited to hear what he had to say. I’ve got to say that I was disappointed with what he said. What did he say, I was silly and pathetic for not believing the Book of Mormon is true? I understand that he believes it is true and I know that he is a good man. I just did not like the way his talk made me feel!

Also, MWallace you made me laugh about the ironing. I hate to iron and therefore send my husband out with wrinkled shirts all the time. I notice that my girls have picked this up too. Ah well, there are more important things in life than ironing, don’t you think???

This is kind of off the subject but when my nephew returned from his mission his dad who is a non member and his mom a member went to the airport individually to see him. His dad wanted to take him to the restaurant we were going to. He couldn’t (because he wasn’t a member) until after he was released. This is also kind of crazy. I was so embarassed for the church and sad for his Dad. I don’t think he was really happy about that. I had no idea this was a rule until this happened. This was just a few months ago.

This reminds me of an experience I had.

I was heading off to Salt Lake city when I was reminded that I hadn’t prayed for safety. So, I prayed for safety. I had this impression to slow down and move to the slow lane. It wasn’t but one minute later that I had a flat tire. Crazy! I like to think that it was the spirit speaking to me.

I guess I like to think I am being look after and my time to go is known.

Thanks for welcoming me. I’m enjoying reading responses and also other’s stories! I love that it is positive here. Right now I’m planning on staying as active as I can unless I feel otherwise. The church has so many good things.
