Labor Day Weekend

Camping at Albion Basin

I love Labor Day Weekend! The weather has been perfect and it has been the nice little break from work that I have needed. My friends and I went camping Friday night and it was a blast. These are the people who were left Saturday morning, but we had several more show up just for the fun on Friday night.

Also, I'm in a new ward and it has been a rough transition, so my roommates and I decided to have a "break the fast" potluck to meet new people. It was a hit. A lot of people showed up and I even met a few of them, if you can believe that. It was a lot of fun and the party lasted a few hours. Hopefully, this will help us be a little more social in the future and feel a little more comfortable meeting the masses in our new ward.

Inspiring Quotes

"We cannot help others feel God's love when we are: irritated, critical, discouraged, annoyed, self-absorbed, angry, indignant, or filled with self-pity, hostility, or bitterness."

"We need to meditate more. We're so busy doing little things. We need to meditate more." President McKay
"The life which is unexamined is not worth living." Plato
"In contrast to the institutions of the world, which teach us to know something, the gospel of Jesus Christ challenges us to become something. . . . The gospel of Jesus Christ is the plan by which we can become what children of God are supposed to become. . . . Charity is something one becomes." Elder Oaks
"If I could have one thing happen for every woman . . . it would be that they would feel the love of the Lord in their lives daily." Bonnie Parkin

"Thanks be to God that He guages the offerings and sacrifices of His children by the standard of their physical ability and honest intent rather than by the gradation of His exalted station. . . . Our need to serve God is incalculably greater than His need for our service."
"True doctrine understood, changes attitudes and behavior. The study of the doctrines of the gospel will improve behavior quicker than a study of behavior will improve behavior." President Packer
