Our lesson tonight was on the Proclamation on the Family. We had a full class.
After class Makareta (Maggie) and Brandon came into our office asking if we could talk with them in private. We shut the door and began. They are dating/courting. Maggie decided in the middle of the courting that she needed to serve a mission and has since gotten her call. The question was, "Should we get engaged before Maggie leaves on her mission?" Scott was so inspired in his reply. He asked Brandon if he had companions that had girlfriends at home waiting for them. He did. Then Scott asked him what those companions were like. Brandon replied that at times, many times, those companions did not have their heads in the mission work. He then asked Brandon if that was want he wanted for Maggie. Poor Brandon, he had to answer 'no', but he really wants her to be committed to him before she goes. He is a great guy to give up something he really wants so that the girl he loves can serve with all her might, mind, and strength.
We learned later that Maggie would have just married Brandon and not gone on a mission if he had asked her to marry him instead of just talking about marriage. They will be alright. Things will work out for them.
They have started to wear shirts of the same color. Cute.
