Life Lesson |
|
Wow, today was strange. I messed up again. That's one thing I keep learning over and over: I am a prideful person - at least I have some really prideful bull-headed tendencies. The bad thing is that it happened with Silvie.
We finally got to meet w/ her after 3 or 4 weeks. But this time she wanted to "do the lesson." She went off on a strange discourse about the future of the world's environment and that the U.S. is ignorant as to their role and that our church should officially take a larger stand and act fully to use our political power for good. I got drawn into the long discussion and almost into an argument. It started off with good intentions, but ended with a really bad spirit and a bad experience. Then Anziano Guiler broke my boxes afterward. He didn't need to though because I'd already realized what a scemo I had been.
I wish I didn't have to go through such painful experiences to learn such important lessons. The pride lesson is one that I keep having to learn over and over again (kinda like the Nephites) - hopefully I do better at learning it than the Nephites did, so I don't have to be utterly destroyed.
Can't Silvie just submit to be baptised? Why's it have to be so hard? I know why. Because this way we learn and we really appreciate what God gives us.
