Story of hometeacher who agreed to help and he was asked to paint a porch, but the guy painted in about an hour and he said,"all done. But, I feel obligated to tell you tgat it was a BMW not a Porsche.

God will never discourage us ever, that is Satan's tool.

If you are on a negative train of thought stop and change, you can only think one thing at a time and if you are thinking a positive thought you will push out any negative thought that there is no room for now, anyway.

Don't strive for perfection, but strive for progress.

Immediate perfection would deny us the power to improve.

Heavenly Father knew the end from the begining and he pushed us on and considered the cost worth it.

Topic of imperfections, One said, I coild speak about my imperfections for 10 minutes easy.

We can be happy regardless of what happens around us.

"We can't change the wind, but we can adjust the sails." Thomas S. Monson

When I showed Joseph where to find the composer for the hymn he responded, "cool." As I pointed to one he added, " Is that a friend of yours?".

When driving instead of seeing imperfections, he started seeing all the loving people around him...it made him weep out of love for the strangers.

There would only be one saved person without the atonement.

But we are told to "work out our salvation".

Lesson is on the fall. I prefer the spring.

"Everyone is better than Moses in one way or another."

Adam and Eve had bodies made from dust of the earth, but they were not mortal.

No choices had been made in the Garden of Eden... why couldn't Adam and Eve multiply, they knew that it was a commandments.

Part of the viel was removed when they ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

So when became mortal they could have children.

Convinced Eve to eat... and she made a choice to eat.

It was pointed out that Eve was foreordained to be the mother so she would be predisposed to eat the fruit, which might be seen as,her being wiser, and perhaps she was wiser than Eve, but she was merely the one who had the attributes.

God cannot make any imperfect thing, so man had to make himself mortal.

But, Satan says that it was done in other worlds. But he did not know what the mind of God was, but if he didn't know the mind of God...was the whole plan presented and satan heard it and such, so not knowing the intent of God seems odd.

Knowing what will happen does not change making a thing difficult.

We sang a song about being sunbeam song, it was used to teach lesson about sharing the restored gospel.

It is not a program to share the gospel but to help others.

It is so interesting to me how I honestly believe that somehow everyone knows exactly what I have been thinking about because it is the very thing that they are discussing. This last time a woman spoke about a woman who was doing a thing and it was the same thing I do.

The gospel has answers for people. When they ask.

Missionary work is optional, that is important to remember.

When you do not have a badge it is harder to share the gospel.

Being a missionary is as easy as setting an example.

Having knowledge is not necessarily a conversion.
