As I have been reading my mission journals, I have come across many instances where I kept my past a secret. I’m not 100% sure what it was. The desire could have been from embarrassment or a feeling as though it was not appropriate. There was an extreme embarrassment around peers. Having to explain why I was so far behind my peers.

Never Give Up an Opportunity to Testify of Christ
I was listening to the April 2023 General Conference today and came across the talk “Never Give Up an Opportunity to Testify of Christ” by Bonnie H Cordon. It was a lovely talk about her father and his admonition to never give up an opportunity to testify of Christ.

Nothing more counts than doing your best. What does it matter if someone is better? Will you become worse because you are focusing on them (something you are not) and not focusing on yourself (something you are)?
I am starting to respect my companion a lot. He’s actually a very good guy. He has a lot of excellent qualities. I am very much loving his companionship.
Letter of Jeremiah
What did I enjoy about this book? One thing was that it reminded me of many of the conversations I have with my children. Describing the differences between good and evil. Admonishing my children to reject the world and remain faithful to God. The perfect example was of me giving my child a cell phone and warning her of all the dangers that exist on it. Of course, the cellphone had about every filter and block on it possible. I still counseled her about the dangers of the phone.
1 Maccabees
I’m not going to write much about this. I feel like I’m reading JR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. I’m having a super hard time getting into it. Honestly, it makes me think of D&C 91 where the spirit will tell you what is truth. When I read Esdras, even though there were a small handful of things that were meh. This book is seriously not doing it for me. I have not felt the spirit or enlightened one bit.
2 Esdras
I started listening to the book 2 Esdras. I was driving back from Vernal, UT to Cedar Hills, UT which is about a 3 hour drive. Honestly, I wanted to hear the full Esdras Eagle Prophecy. But I thought I would know and understand more if I read the whole book. Sometimes I have a hard time reading a lot. So, listening is great. The narrator on the YouTube video I chose was awesome.
2Esdras 1 & 2 – Full text of Esdras Eagle
2 Esdras 11 1 Then saw I a dream, and, behold, there came up from the sea an eagle, which had twelve feathered wings, and three heads. 2 And I saw, and, behold, she spread her wings over all the earth, and all the winds of the air blew on […]
A few thoughts on the last days
I remember as a kid, maybe in my early teens doing the math and thinking to myself, in the year 2000 I will be 27 years old. I can’t even imagine living that long. I couldn’t picture anything about what my life would be like.

If I read this at face value, it says:
– Biden’s term will end early
– The next presidency is going to be a train wreck.
– It will be upset by one of the branches of government.
– Within 2 to 3 election cycles America will cease to exist.
Kim Curtis – Angel of Light
One day I was standing outside a classroom, waiting for one class to end and another to start when this girl exited the classroom. To my astonishment, she was radiating with the most glorious light shining all around her. She glowed like an Angel. I instantly felt drawn to her. The next week I waited outside the door again, hoping to see this girl a second time. Again she was glowing with light. I knew I needed to know her, but I lacked the courage to talk to her.
