President Monson came today for devotional and I always enjoy listening to that man. He is funny and that is great because it draws people in and makes them comfortable with him. I really enjoy his humor because it is clean and witty and smart. He is a breath of fresh air hahaha. I enjoyed how he talked about that we need to be righteous examples to the world. It is true we really do need to be righteous examples in all that we do. It is hard though being in Provo where everyone is LDS. But even at the store you can be an example. You can do it by being modest and happy and not rude.
I also enjoyed his story about Bro. Christensen at Oxford and how he prayed and prayed for a long time before he got an answer. I feel like that sometimes that I pray and pray and really don't get anything. But God is a just God and He will answer when best for me and He knows what id best for me. I also really loved how he referenced Lion King, the part where Simba is told that he can be more than he has become. To me it seems hard to be more, but at the same time not, because we are always needing to grow and change and I am always growing and changing. I love this gospel and the chance that I have to grow and change.
Just last Sunday in our gospel doctrine lesson we watched a clip from "THE LION KING" and the part where Mufasa tells Simba he is more than he has become was my favorite! I had completely forgotten Pres. Monson used that in his devotional adddress too! I'm so glad you mentioned this.
