More stuff for Week 4

Hello again, so I was able to get on to this website and load it to the blog roll. Finally! Hopefully I will be able to keep up later on in the semester! Like I said earlier, for my google reader, it is harder to pare down what I want than what I don't want!
Ok, here is my gospel stuff: I went to a great Regional Conference on the 12th, and I learned a lot. There were a couple of things that really stood out to me, and I will share them with you. Julie B. Beck spoke, and said that she was worried about young mothers who neglect their children to spend hours on the computer. I totally agree with that! She quoted a great scripture from 3 Nephi 20 that talked about how the LORD can do all things. President Packer said a lot of amazing things, but the main point of this talk that he wanted us to remember was that no matter how much we want to give up on a certain individual, we cannot. He related a story to us about how he was a seminary teacher, and that he was having a difficult time trying to help this one young man who was disruptive in class. One of the brethren who was over the seminary program came to talk to him in a meeting or something like that, and Elder Packer asked him "When can I give up with him? When will I reach the breaking point with him?". And then his superior changed his whole perspective and said this : "What if he was your son?" That hit me really hard, because I had decided to sort of write off at least one of my relatives (not particularly close), and this made me realize that I could not give up on that person. I think that this really relates to teaching, because we are all going to have a student who is like that, and we will wonder when we will be able to give up on that person, and the answer is, never!
