Sunday is great!!

Since I've been in the over 30 ward they do this day conference during the summer involving Logan and Ogden, along with anyone else who wants to show up. There were some from Idaho and Salt Lake there too, mainly people who like the conferences and go to anyone they hear about. Well at these conferences they have different classes, some spiritual and some dating related. In the morning I went to this class on the temple, and it turned out to be the recently released Logan temple president that talked at it. While there he talked about a youth group from Idaho that came one time at 5 am to do baptisms, since they needed to get back in time for school. Well suddenly I wanted to go to the temple, especially since it had been closed for the last month. I decided the people who planned the conference should be happy I applied something to life. So I skipped the last talk last night and went to the temple before it was closed at 8 pm. Today when I was going to church I went by the temple and suddenly stopped to stare. Maybe I was the only one to see it, but it was totally glowing. It  reminded me of a former stake president in Roosevelt who was the Vernal temple president a few years ago. He said something along the lines of by being at the temple a lot it makes you more holy. At least he'd noticed that as the temple president for three years. This incident just reminded me of that, if your doing lots of spiritual stuff then you'll notice the difference.

Also today at church this girl talked who I didn't really know, and only a few weeks ago had a conversation with. Well she told about this relative who lived in Nauvoo as a teenager. He was quite friendly with Joseph Smith and one day this guy named William Law asked him to go work for him. This teenager had a bad feeling, but Joseph Smith told him it was a good idea to take the job. So he went and started working for William Law and he started hearing the adults talk in apostate ways. He always paid attention to the conversations and one night was asleep. (apparently he slept there) But he woke up and heard them talking about killing Joseph Smith, and they wanted him to help them do it too. He went over and told Joseph Smith what they had said, well Joseph Smith said 'Yes help them and load the gun or whatever they want, but don't worry if I'm suppose to live they won't succeed.' So he went back and the next day they wanted him to help them load the gun. He did it and was standing there when they tried to shoot Joseph Smith. Well the gun wouldn't work and the bullets wouldn't come out. (something like that) They were mad telling the teenager that he'd loaded it wrong. He said 'no I didn't do it wrong' and the guy turned and tried to shoot a post. Lo and behold all bullets shot totally normal as they should have previously. But it was a pretty cool story because it goes to show that no one dies by accident. Although we refer to them as car accident, bike accident or boating accident. It's a good thing to remember in life. Happy Sunday!
