My Sabbath day was wonderful. Both of us woke up feeling refreshed, we had a thoughtful sacrament meeting and I went to a class where one lady was waiting. It turns out there were only the two of us. We chatted about our families and then we got on a great discussion of how prayers work in our lives. She has been through some great challenges and knows that prayer can change things. I gave her my testimony of how big things and little things can all be answered by prayers. It was a beneficial sharing of testimony and ideas.
Jeffrey and I went to the MTC where he gave some Patriarchal Blessings. Both of us were moved and awed by the blessings that God has in store for the future of these young men and women.
We then went over to the Danso home as we had been invited for a late lunch. She is from Samoa and he is from Ghana. Her family moved to Hawaii and then she lived in Utah. He was inspired by his father to work very hard so he could go to school and step out of poverty. Brother Danso went to BYU and started his own business after working for the Church for a few years. He has a firm testimony of how entrepreneurial businesses can be made by students who learn specific skills. He mentioned how the Ghanaian government sends people to Canada to learn to be welders to work on government projects. The Canadian reputation for skilled workers is very high. Those men will always have good jobs.
Jeffrey grilled him on how Pathways is and is not viable at the moment and what it would take to make it great. Jeffrey was inspired and uplifted and hopes the information he learned will be useful and helpful in the future.
It was really a very good day. In contrast to the anxiety and frustration of Saturday. I think Sunday looked so much better because of the angst of Saturday.
