the importance

of doing what needs to be done. doing what lord commands, listening to the spirit and obeying it. as nephi had said about the spirit and the working of angels

again I say unto you that if ye will enter in by the way, and receive the Holy Ghost, it will show unto you all things what ye should do.

i felt the need to see a family i use to home teach. a couple that lives on base, my home teaching companion and i were talking about it and we said we should see them especially since they are leaving with in a month or two. we went over with just the husband there. we began to talk and catch up, come to find out that they are moving to San Antonio. on my side of town and the husband was in need of finding a job. i couldn't really give him a for sure answer of where or how to get a job, but i do know of a lot of places where he can find things that he would fit in perfect. at the Toyota plant they're building or working with hazmat and hazards material. we prayed gave a lesson and talked. by the end i had a sure knowledge that i have a savior, that heavenly father has a plan and we all fit in it. a sure knowledge that we have a savior, his name is wonderful, counselor, the almighty son of God, the prince of peace. his love is now and has been so clear to me lately, it has humbled me to tears. at the same time comforted me in knowing everything in my life is fine and will be worth it. still it pains for me to know this in my heart and have such an amazing feeling, and at the same time the guy we taught isn't a member and has no desire at all of being a member.

at any rate this is

this IS Fleet Foxes covering fleetwood mac


no matter what I've learned or how far I've come in the past years, i know that i can be brought down in an instant. so many times i feel 10 inches tall and feel more alone than when you lost you favorite toy as a kid, the last key to be played by a pianist, the final lead to fall off a dying tree. or just really bummed out and incomplete. which ever comes first

this has nothing to do with me

oh crud
