Study Journal!
By Leighton | July 21, 2008
Usually in church I read the scriptures. And usually when I read the scriptures, I write down my thoughts in my Study Journal. The problem recently is that every time I open the scriptures, everything seems to be talking about Sharon. So here is what I wrote yesterday:
I have been contemplating ways to make a good impression with Sharon’s parents. I really want them to approve of me. I read a couple stories just now in the Book of Mormon which I can now see in a new light. The first is the story of Ammon and king Lamoni. When Ammon first came to that land, he was captured and brought before the king. Ammon needed to gain the favor of the king or he would be killed. The king “inquired of Ammon if it were his desire to dwell in the land among the Lamanites”. Ammon answered “Yea, I desire to dwell among this people for a time; yea, and perhaps until the day I die.” “And it came to pass that king Lamoni was much pleased with Ammon, and caused that his bands should be loosed; and he would that Ammon should take one of his daughters to wife.”
Wow. This is exactly what I am looking for. I want to gain the favor of Sharon’s dad, and I want him to desire that I should marry his daughter. The only difference is that unlike Ammon, I would definitely say YES! Haha. I need to really be on my best behavior and know how to act and what I need to do. I think that one of the main reasons that king Lamoni liked Ammon is because he saw how much Ammon loved his people and his culture. I also need to show that I really love Sharon and that I really love the Chinese culture. It’s true, I really do love them, I just need to make sure that I show it. Hehe.
SO that’s my master plan. Now I just have to hope that they don’t read this and get smart to me hehe…
