Personal progress fun! We also had Sis LaDonna Burnau introduce us to crocheting which we will plan to do in the next months. We have some dedicated beehives who are serious about getting their value experiences done. I partnered the little young women with the Big Sis's (honor bee charmers) and had them do a one on one. They completed at least 1-2 VE's tonight! Great job ladies! 👍🏽❤️🍊 #choiceandaccountability #sandhillward #laurels #miamaids #beehives #honorbees #personalprogress #youngwomen #ldsyw #mylifeonwednesdays (at Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints)

Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin: “The play called for me to run the ball up the middle to score the go-ahead touchdown,” he said. “I took the handoff and plunged into the line. I knew I was close to the goal line, but I didn’t know how close. Although I was pinned at the bottom of the pile, I reached my fingers forward a couple of inches and I could feel it. The goal line was two inches (5 cm) away. “At that moment I was tempted to push the ball forward. I could have done it. … But then I remembered the words of my mother. ‘Joseph,’ she had often said to me, ‘do what is right, no matter the consequence. Do what is right and things will turn out OK.’ “I wanted so desperately to score that touchdown. But more than being a hero in the eyes of my friends, I wanted to be a hero in the eyes of my mother. And so I left the ball where it was—two inches from the goal line.”

Honor comes before Excellence.

"To me, integrity means always doing what is right and good, regardless of the immediate consequences. It means being righteous … , not only in our actions but, more importantly, in our thoughts and in our hearts. We show our integrity by caring for and serving others. The Lord expects us to live lives of integrity and to be obedient to his commandments. Let us strive for personal, practical integrity in every endeavor, regardless of how mundane or inconsequential it may seem. Having received the Spirit of Christ to know good from evil, we should always choose the good". - Elder. Joseph B. Wirthlin

Obedience with exactness is the key.

Excerpt from "Opposition to my Mission" by Alcenir de Souza

One day my stake president called and told me that my mission call had arrived and asked me to come to his office that evening so he could give me the much-awaited envelope from Church headquarters. I was both nervous and happy at the news.

On the same day, my manager at work asked to talk to me before lunch. When I entered his office, I was greeted in a friendly manner, and we talked for a few minutes about my training and what I had learned at the company. Then, that powerful man in the organization said something that was the dream of most of the people in the city: "You have done a good job here as a trainee, and we want to hire you and keep you on the team. What do you think?"

I explained the situation to my manager, and his reply still echoes in my mind: "I thought that you were such a level-headed young man, and here you are throwing away the opportunity of your life."

I thanked him from the bottom of my heart for his offer, and 28 days later I reported to the missionary training center in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

There is an opposition to everything. Oftentimes, the people around us see our decisions as wrong, a waste of a good opportunity, or something else especially when it involves going on a mission. However, we just have to always remember that being a servant of the Lord as a missionary in the field is a great opportunity for us to share the happiness brought by the fullness of the restored gospel. It doesn't matter what people say about us, about how close we are in achieving their goal yet did not take that opportunity, what matters most is what our Heavenly Father thinks of us and what other things we can do to be able to go back to His presence.
