In the Minority

Today in my Digital Civilizations class we studied Mormonism from a historical perspective, and had an interseting time exploring the influence of the digital world in Mormonism, and how the church has begun to use the internet to propagate their views and the truth about the Church. As a part of the class we Skyped the Elderers at the MTC, through Mormon.org. After talking about their mission and what it was that they do and how, we got to ask them questions and some of their successes, which they have had a lot of in conjunction with the local elders.

Anyways after that chat we talked about the influence of the one in sharing the gospel. As a part of this the our professors shared about Mormon.org and how people can set up profiles to talk about their experiences in the Church. Well, I thought that I would go and check the profile page out, however when I signed in I was sent to this nice page...

So in conclusion of adventures today, it really stinks to be a minor. Good thing I only have about forever left to be one! =)

Family History

Jen and I have always known that family history is an important part of our church membership, but little did we know that soon it would become an hour long part of our church membership. Today we found out that we will now be in the Temple and Family History work class, for Sunday School. We are collectively thrilled with the opportunity to do Family History and Indexing on a regular basis through the class. Our first lesson was on the importance of doing family history work, and have been reminded that the happiness of our ancestors depends on the work that we do for them as saviors on Mount Zion. Here's to a semester of family work!

Average Day

6:30 - wake up because wonderful roommate has to eat breakfast inside dorm, now that Cannon hours have changed to 7:00. (When weights start. I should probably actually note that I would've gotten up at 6:30 anyways, but it make me feel better to put this in here lol)

9:45 - leave for a math lecture, I've already had, in freezing cold weather

11:30 - excellent lunch
