My cousin entered the MTC this week- it was also "Missionary Week" here in the world of Helaman Halls. So anyway, while Dallin heads off to Singapore, I've been in Rio- figuratively. Brasil, Rio de Janiero!
The Best Two Years, for any of you non-LDS folk out there, is a film done a few years ago about missionaries- it's actually pretty funny and it's like, a real movie. Anyway, for this conclusion of missionary week and whatnot, we watched it- and even though it's kindof a spoofy jokey movie, kind of, I did have the thought that missionary work really is quite the act of courage- firstly, because missions are two years long. Two years of one's life, given up- two years' worth of dating, job promotions, work, family time. One might call this sacrifice...but frito. It's so much more than that.
Quote a' favorite:
"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the decision that something else is more important than fear."
This isn't a real widely-read blog, so it's not apt to reach that many people- but should it happen to grace a future missionary (and I know it will reach at least one- and maybe, maybe two) just know how grateful I am for you, and for that courage you have. It's a strength for me. It's a strength the world needs; they need you, because you and I have something they need.
Royalty- I think I'm going to make some tiaras with my friends tonight. Even if we don't- I'm just a princess anyway. B'lieve it ;].
Ringpops- As far as ringpops go....
Well.
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it?
And that's all I have to say about tha-yut.
G'night, all.
