An Encounter with The Elders Quorum Presidency

Well who is tired of coming to our blog and looking at the same thing for weeks on end?
Then let me divulge you into a brief encounter Mahina and I had on Wednesday night, all of those of you that know who our Elders Quorum President is will know that this is one of the many things he has stored in his head. It was brought on by a comment I made in which related to marriage and how ours has gotten a lot easier.
After this comment was made one of the individuals who will also stay anonymous but claims that when he was younger he cut Tina's hair and caused his family and Mahina's family to not talk for quite some time.......Anywho back to the matter at hand, he said that the first year of marriage was hard however the 2nd is harder and the 3rd well lets just say he could have gone on all night but clearly he was joking.
But back to the Presidents comment he began to quote Heber J. Grant, and he said the following.

Stories are told about Heber J. Grant, who was tone deaf, and how he learned to sing; how he had bad handwriting, but later won an award for good penmanship, and how he couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with a ball, but ended up playing on a championship baseball team -- all through the power of persistence. He quoted Ralph Waldo Emerson: "That which we persist in doing becomes easy to do; not that the nature of the thing has changed, but that our power to do has increased."

What applies to baseball, writing and singing applies to marriage: that which we persist in doing becomes easy, not that the nature of it has changed, but our power to do it has increased. Amen. (It also applies to home teaching).

So take into your own hearts the interpretation of this brief yet educational story of life and marriage.
