Brain dump

Talk take what I mean, not the exact words.

Why are the missionaries so eager to tell me what they believe?

Always was and will be a missionary church and we see it as our duty as per baptismal covenant. We as, LDS take it seriously.

The speaker made our goal to bring world peace sound like the same as Moslems only we do not achieve it through a jihad but by invitation.

Story about how he wanted to give BoM, but procrastinated and then finally bucked up and gave it, but missionaries already had. (I can related. I knew someone and I wrapped it and addressed it, but somehow found that someone already had beat me to the punch, but the thing I can get from this is that this person is so important that he put the idea into multiple minds).

"We need to be a light, not a judge."

"God cannot drive a parked car." To move in the right direction we need to be moving.

As a missionary he was instructed that he needed to speak to someone. Ended up they were chasing a guy and his companion asked, "Do we need to talk to this guy?" And it was that simple, they did, so the Chase continued.

Trials help us become who we ought.

He gets to help his parents a lot in sacrament.

Whenever someone tastes sweet and grand fruit or things, they want to share.

20 years since mission, but I still know what one must do to gain a testimony. It hasn't changed much.

As we grow in our conversion, we naturally want to share.

John, the beloved, never tasted of death.

Everything necessary has happened, we just need to keep our covenants (by our faith that all those things are real).

Story of Alma who needed to be forgiven. It is interesting that the sons of Mosiah were not given such an experience.

If we have been forgiven, doesn't it make us so happy that we want to share (my thoughts, not shared but are summarized by the song, "Aeroplane")

Sometimes we do not know what to say, but say it anyway.

We do not share the gospel with those who are not members.

We have questions, but then when we have a serious issue then we ask more serious questions that lead us to look heaven ward.

Maybe each day we should begin our day by recognizing that we are children of God.

Quote from Wordsworth tells exactly, although artsy, who we are and what we take with us.

Now, I think of a song again, "...Where's the Joy to cure my sadness?"

How much is what we believe effecting what we say or how we think. The beauty of thought that we see/recognize in others might stem from a commonality of religion.

Talking about first vision carries a spirit with it, that is so much like the thing the missionary taught about not listening to what is said, but what accompanies it.

All that is good is of God and can be felt.

Sometimes we do not even know that we are being cut down.

When the prophet chose his council he prayed about who to ask and began each meeting with a prayer and he was asked if he thought it would work, and he said, "yes" it did.

What should be pray for:
Each child and their specific needs.
Giving gratitude.
We need to pray for our teachers and those who work.

When we cannot use our phones we need to rely on the Lord.
Story of Gloria Monk having a cell phone taken from her she prayed and said, "Lord, it is up to you." When she had an accident.

Heavenly Father is aware of us and we need to do his will.

If we seek things from Heavenly Father but do nothing to help others.

We need to.fast with our prayers.

Vain repetition of my kids I was trying to tell them not to always say We love you, heavenly father. And they asked are you asking us not to say we love God?
