March 16

I spent the day reading talks by Orson Pratt, George Q Cannon, Melvin J Ballard, and Marion G. Romney.  These previous General Authorities talked about pieces of the Gospel that we don't hear about much in General Conference anymore, i.e., gift of discernment, false spirits, false prophets. These talks were just what I needed.

I am getting these talks off a wonderful website I found before we came to Fiji.  It is a BYU website called LDS Scripture Citation Index.  One can look up scriptures one wants more information about and up comes all the talks by General Authorities using that scripture as a reference.  The index takes one right to the part of the talk where the reference was used.  So informative.  So helpful.  And for me these old talks are very interesting.

Ended up doing some counseling tonight at the institute.  What does one say to a 34 year old RM who is sure she has received a prompting that she is to marry a 23 year old RM?  Coward that I am; I asked for time to think.  Praying hard would be more like it.  Gulp!
