(Now this is Mormon culture, not the doctrines of the church people.) Now I'm sure there are more than two things. We all have annoying habits, but these are two I was reminded of today. 1. Every speaker in Sacrament Meeting feels they need to share some funny story about how they have been trying to avoid the bishopric for the past three years and they finally got caught. Or how they looked at the caller ID and they saw the Bishop's last name and they had an internal battle about whether or not they should answer it. Or even a story about how they said something blasphemous in their last talk and they thought the word had gotten around and they would be set for life, but apparently Bishop didn't get the message so they have to speak again. It's annoying. So you hate speaking, but you do it anyway because you're a good member. Great. Now get on with your talk. 2. In lessons or talks it's important to stay within your assigned time limit. I agree with tha...

15 years ago today, President Gordon B. Hinckley did something rarely done in the affairs of the Kingdom. He delivered a proclamation of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Today is the 15th anniversary of The Family: A Proclamation to the World. The Proclamation was given over the pulpit in a General Relief Society Meeting. Directly prior to reading the Proclamation, President Hinckley stated the main reason why such a Proclamation was generated.

I'm a bad blog-mommy. I've neglected my little baby blog and left it to fend for itself. Shame on me. Here's an update on life, thoughts and such if you care to read: I got a new job! I no longer work as a telemarketer! Woo! Instead I'm a Helaman Halls Creamery Cashier. I don't get paid much, and freshmen boys are flirty little things, but the girls I work with are awesome and the job is low stress (great for school). School started! I'm actually love all of my classes! I'm taking Italian 102, Latin Ballroom Dance, Writings of Isaiah, Strengthening Marriage and Family, Intro to Interiors, and Intro to SFL. It is fantastic! I'm remembering more Italian than I thought, I still love to dance, Isaiah fascinates me, I love the in-depth look at The Family: A Proclamation to the World, learning about interior design is so fun, and Intro to SFL is giving me a great insight to the possibilities of my new major choice. Life is good! Elder Humes had his fi...
