Spent the day working on lessons. This week I teach the third and fourth lessons in the institute manual for the Doctrine and Covenants which cover sections 3,5,10,and 17. How does one teach for 45 minutes and do justice to all of that?
We decided we needed a breather, so we went to an early dinner and a movie with the Hogges and the Wellses. We saw Family Connection with Bette Midlar and Billy Crystal. I laughed until I cried. I identified with Billy Crystal's character who finds himself out of his job and stumbles and bumbles around trying to figure it all out. Unlike the character who just modifies what he has always done, I find I do not want to just modify myself here in the mission field, but change in significant ways. I think I remember one of my daughters who served a mission say that all her flaws were magnified on her mission. I know exactly what she meant, however, I do not think they are magnified I think that on a mission we just become more aware of our flaws and have a greater desire to be rid of them. See even when I am supposed to be entertained my thoughts and desires are focused.
