This is my unedited, or abridged notes from my meetings. I think this will be a regular thing that I will do.

Black sox dancers.

You can't remember something you never learned.

It is important to be prepared.

Don't neglect perfecting the saints.

Food storage is likely as important as building the ark was to Noah.

We will wish we had food storage anywhere, even if it isn't ideal

If you pray you will be heard and things will happen.

Food storage is a lot like tithing.

Man, as a spirit, was begotten and born of heavenly parents and reared to maturity in the eternal mansions of the Father, prior to coming upon the earth in a temporal body. Joseph F Smith p. 335

This generation doesn't say "I can't". Making Sci-fi a reality.

Size of computers are huge, but they get smaller, but at least we know understanding things is possible.

Agency is important, What Heavenly parent would want to loose any children.

Every person has a story that is not visible to others.

We learn a lot more through our failures. That is our experience

It was always natural for me to do so many things. so learning is more of recognizing kinda like Gravity, Newton didn't create it. He discovered it.

We have to be ready to instruct children, must be a master of a thing to teach it.

Exertion means trying a bit harder.

We read with a purpose to improve.

The education of the spirit is worthy of our "best attention."

Try to figure out how the people learn.

It is of greater worth to learn things from the spirit.

That video about Brigham Young. Spirit confirms and teaches us the truth.

Learning things book smart worldly, we can learn the same things as another through the spirit.

Compare the differences between same people, based on how the things stick when we learn through the spirit.

Alexis's sister was a RS president and she knew it all.

A child learns the alphabet by repetition, we are children.

Both teacher and the learner need guidance of the spirit. This can be taught in the story I am writting.

It is easier to do something when we don't know what we are doing. We walk by faith. - just a random thought outside of class regarding not feeling worthy to work among such great people.- Really, what could I offer?

Tattoo your face

The big problem with all of this artificially chosen decisions crap is that machines can guess, even an eightball can be right from time to time, and if our minds or opinion stay the same and were required to stay the same (which goes against a fundamental right) then their conclusions would be acceptable, but as things are, these choices are made by a machine, incapable of thought.

I can see the helpfulness of having help remembering passwords or other redundant info. But, then we become dependant and forget, like the Rhett and Link song you'll have to hire a full-time password guy.

Maybe I have been raised too liberally because I believe my success comes from my fluidity of view. I can like one thing one day and the next it's opposite and no one would really mind. But, if I answer a question a certain way and it happens to be recorded online and ads and such are tailored according to that response, then I must be locked into that stance or any of those "brilliant" algorithms will be ill suited to me or guessing my preferences like they were set in stone.

It is like getting a tattoo on your face, once you've claimed an inadvertant prefence, you better not change your mind, computers are worse than elephants when...ewwww! Hang on!

Sorry, plot twist, totally unexpected. I hope no young minds took that in.

Somewhere all of your once preferences are recorded and sold. It left a rathar large impression on me when we returned to Michigan and I waa expecting to hear a sigh of, "It is so good to be home." Instead, I heard. It is so hard to come back when you have changed so much, but everyone tries to hold on to who you were.

"Without change something sleeps within us and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken."

The data mining that was intended to help us, is like that force that won't let us evolve, "Forgive and Forget".

Really quick, I want to add a thought that I just had. Every single advancement though it may have been intended for good, must be allowed to be used for ulterior purposes. It is Like laws, in any given situation they can be seen as limiting, but as our perception changes we understand how the law is very helpful.

Warning

I know the advice has been repetitively given, but it has,likewise been ignored, so I urgently beg you do not marry a seed. If you like what is possible, make it known and wait. Marrying a man and then changing him doesn't work.

I.sang the song, "Marry the man today, and change his ways tomorrow" too many times. It is true if you sing something it effects you, unless you start singing, "If I had a million dollars.." I tried. It didn't work, but it did change my perspective and placed money as a priority, so I turned it off. I believe I could have a million dollars if that was my aim. I got two beautiful babies instead. Anyone know a song about keeping our most prized possessions with us.forever?

Joy is different from happiness.

Holy Ghost sanctified us so that we can be in the presence of God which is necessary to achieve Exaltation.

Exaltation is the purpose of God for his children.

Comqncerns of children used to be so different. We were where they are and we can help them.

Concerns used to be external, and now it is our choices. (Which might be as difficult)

That zeal we feel beautiful and not critical at all. After conversion we could do anything.
It gives us hope.

1) scriptures are the key
3) Quentin Cook is beloved by Sister ? (Daughter of Monsoon) descendent of Heber C. Kimball. Can ye feel so now? We are at war and so are our children, but we need to have our hearts changed, and then we will not have any struggle what to do. New Years eve is a great time to consider if we can feel so now.

How is your spiritual immune system?

Our concern needs to be as important as our constant awareness of our physical bodies and tests.

Wage a war with things that get into our subconscious, just as,we would an actual person.

You loose spirituality gradually.

Increase our testimony and put us back where our faith required we be to grow.

The things that happen to bring us closer to something, there is a desire and following that there is a fulfillment, it would have to be supplied by a father in heaven.

Things would be impossible to endure without miracles.

As a,missionary we realized that our language is flawed. Everyone may say they believe in a God, but they are referring to something else. Discussions seemed to go well, but no conversion followed. Huh?

Brain's complexity suggests there is a God, Heavenly Father.

Lord prepares the way. Waldenses. Depends on how we see things, mission didn't have a big haul, but those he did touch made a huge difference.

The daughter of Jacob Jensen was called back because we are not done. Like that documentary "Afterlife" only this is a LDS example that life after death is desirable. Page 30 of manual.

The children see more with spiritual eyes. So, their opinion is respected.

It's Time

Though my brain infection caused serious trouble and holes in the person I was building, With time and effort those holes can be repaired.

I have not ever said it, but now, I must. Of all of the things that just seemed to.slip away and I really couldn't do anything about, the one thing I thought I could repair,it was my chance or something, but it is the one thing I cannot mend and the past years all of my words and efforts have been towards that end.

I was completely in love, so much so that little else,mattered to me. This is what scared me. I was glad to be free because I was neglecting other things, the very things that I was so.upset about loosing, like running and piano. I had spent almost countless hours on those things. They were my choices. That was who I wanted to be, but then I fell in love an none of that mattered. So, I married someone with whom I wasn't so crazy about in hopes that I could rebuild me.

Now, I see it is futile. I loved to a point that could,never be matched and now I am looking for that one thing in hopes that maybe I could at least replace that.

Maybe, it is the atonement that "turns weaknesses into strength." Maybe, I was supposed to realize that my faith was unchanged and focus on building that. We are commanded to love God with all of our heart, might, and strength.

But, like "The Birthmark' I focused on the one thing I could not fix instead of what I could continue. I can still speak, write, and comprehend, that alone is an awesome gift!

What I intended; however, was not to preach, but to express the deep sadness dare I name it depression? from,my infection was not for what I could not do anymore, but the family that I lost. I have ignored it for the most part because I have a family again, but it is only a shadow of what I had.

I was reading that family is central to God's plan of happiness, and now I see exactly what that means, and it is time that I stop trying to make my new family into what I had.

Sadly, I lost, it is gone and irreplaceable. I still have the blueprints in my heart, and it hurts more than anything to give up and toss those plans out, which I should have done before.

I even have all of my children on a regular basis, but freely admit they are here because I prayed them here, but everytime I have them, my heart breaks all over when they leave, because they have to go. They belong with me, but they belong with their father, too.

Quotes

That's what parents do. They  put their children first. One day you'll understand.

It is best not to ask someone what they want because the best gifts are the ones you are not aware that you want.
