what a wonderful day it has been and wonderful news we have heard. 2 new temples announced, immediately followed by the announcement of a lower age for eligibility for elders and sisters to serve. 18 years old for elders (high school graduate) and 19 years old for sisters. incredible! i don't even know that i would have been ready to serve at 19. probably knowing that was a possibility. but man, would it have been a totally different experience. i think for this growing generation of youth, the need for immediate missionary service is wise. think of all the eligable youth RIGHT NOW and the existing missionaries in the field! the work is going to explode! i can't want to see what will happen. and the dynamic at BYU is going to change drastically. all freshman girls :) haha.
i really enjoyed President Uchtdorf's talk about not worrying about the ending, but participating and being active in wholesome activities because of the journey of the experience. don't worry about the last note. enjoy life in the moment. he also said to find something each day to enjoy; look more with your heart. lastly, he has met too many people who wished their life was happier. how sad is that?
here's some neat facts about us mormons...
