I got an iPhone this week and let me say this this is just absolutely amazing! There is so much that you can do with it! You know I was thinking about it and the amazing technology that we have today (like the iPhone) have changed us from people who study and memorize and learn to people who just simply need to know how to asked the right question and google it! Honestly if ever I have a question I don't need to go to the library, check out a book that talks about the subject the read it, alls I have to do is simple type it into the search bar on safari and choose which site I want to get the answer from. Really, it makes life so much easier. Other exciting things this week: my parents are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary this week with a cruise to some beach with hot white sand and shady palm trees. Last I heard from them they both were sick trying to get their sea legs but optimistic that it would turn out alright. Bless them. Also happy birthday to little shelder roony the lad turns 18 today, officially an adult yet still not viewed as responsible enough for the perks of being 21. So maybe not quite an adult but closer to an adult then a child.
Today was the first Sunday in my new ward the BYU 35th ward covering the Yorktown and Madison buildings in liberty square. It was funny to watch people. Of course is didn't know anyone in the ward so I got the chance to quietly sit by myself and observe everyone else. Super interesting. I highly recommend it for anyone that feels they have a boring life. It was like being at the state fair auction. All these marriage hopefulls running around sniffing out the new fresh meat that they be around for the next 9 months. What I really found interesting was the selling points that people would try to use , I guess you can learn a lot about people by observing how they put their best foot forward. There was a couple of young gentlemen sitting just before me in sacrament meeting who both had a set of pipes. Every time we would begin a hymn they would raise their voices high above all the others and with a sweet harmony serinat the young women sitting around them. Lucky for them they had really good voices and after each song the same couple of girls would turn around and remind them of how amazing their voices were. At then end of the meeting I even heard on of these twitterpated girls reserve the seat just in front of them for the rest of the semester! Other selling points are for the most part able to be catagorized under the following heads, flashy dress and appearance, relations, catchy humor ( this was usually the best to observe because more often then not it was the most butchered and awkward) and the ever Mormon unique spirituality, who can have the best comment in Sunday school?
Any guesses on the topics for the bishopric as they spoke today? Yup that's right! Marrage, the wife's talked about meeting their dream men and the husbands talking about how stupid they were for delaying the proposal because they wanted to enjoy the bachelor life. It was cool to see all the poor women's hearts melt during the sisters stories then seeing the brothers either nod in agreement or stare at the floor according to what point the bishop was making. Apparently the idea of being this too cool for school bachelor is a really popular idea among the men in our ward. Little do they know that when that pretty little thing smiles their way it will be game over for their plan.
Single wards are great!
