Prepared for Mass

Hi there!
Exactly a week ago, I gave a talk in Sacrament meeting about Missionary Work. I'll put a link on the bottom if you would like to read it. I specifically chose to write about inviting friends(etc) to environments where they can feel the holy spirit. (Ex: to temple square, a beautiful hike, a place where the people are good examples, etc)


As I thought about this, the thought occurred to me that I have haven't practiced what I have preached for a long time. Of course, there was this one time during my childhood when I invited my friend to come to church :D. That was so long ago. I vaguely remember feeling joy because I had done this. After giving this talk, I decided to DO- what I told my ward to DO. Background: I have many non-member friends and I can literally see how the Holy Ghost affects my life and can see the absence of it in their lives. How awesome would it be to bring the Holy Ghost into their lives?!
So, I put the plan into action. Note:thankgoodness my friend is open to talking about religion. I brought up the conversation and then asked her if I could go to Mass (a catholic sacrament meeting) with her! I sincerely want to learn more about different religions. And since Catholicism is a very popular religion, I thought it would be a great experience to go! Also, I would probably hear some inspiring sermons! THAT IS (in itself) SIMPLY COOL. Then, she told me a little bit about what happens. Then I asked her if she wanted to come to the lds church with me, we talked and she agreed it would be great!
I am leaving next week on Sat to go to mass and then she will come with me Sun for all meetings! I hope this all works out like I hope it will! But I know I shouldn't fret, it will be a great experience for both of us. :D
Bye! Love, Peace, Chicken Grease.

The Cruel World That Loves me only 30%

Hello my Melybelly fans! This morning, I found out the world hates my guts. I have no luck WHATSOEVER. This morn. my phone fell out of my pants or slipped from my grasp 4 times! GRrr. woof sigh. hmmmm and i didn't get the grades I was hoping for because i am a little bit SLACKER-I get that from my dog?-false-No -although Maggie does live on 100% slackerism. haha.

Gr. I am SO sick of EVIL on TV! So after I decided NO MORE CARAMEL CORN FOR ME! but then that failed miserably and the next day I watched yet another episode of Gilmore Girls. UGH. The whole thing promoted terrible morals and ethics. That show has a foundation of SELF-CENTERED-NESS, DISHONESTY, SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE, RUDENESS, NO RESPECT FOR PARENTS, SMOKING, GOSSIP, PEOPLE WHO CAN'T COMMIT, PEOPLE WHO DON'T IMPROVE THEIR FOLLIES-BUT LEARN TO JUSTIFY THEIR FOLLIES,OVERLOAD OF PROFANITY ETC ETC bla bla BLA.

You know, I hadn't really thought about all of this. But it is as true now as the first time I watched it. The show was so deceiving. Why do I think this?

At first the show had half of these qualities and shown in smaller portions. From the first episode, the bad qualities have increased exponentially and in Larger scale.

There is one positive thing I can say about Gilmore Girls. I love the Theme Song: "When you lead"


All the characters/heros have very bad qualities. I want to reflect on what Brother Johnson (great Mountain View Seminary Teacher) said about heros- A hero is someone who you can look up to, who sets a higher example for you, someone you want to be like, therefore you can feel right about every decision they make.

Gilmore Girls was very funny and addicting to watch. It was very addicting because i knew I was doing something rebel worthy. I did not have a good feeling after I watched the show 75% of the time. A lot of the time it ended on a depressing note. But a good theme of it is: Really try to be best friends with your mother also, support good behavior and warn of bad behavior but let them make their own decisions.
This show did help me when I was feeling lonely. I felt like I was without friends, just like how Rory felt. It did help me, but now i'm ready to move on.
Enjoy the Fabulous theme song!- Where you Lead- by Carol King.
