Firefighting Fun! Where?!!

Jaxon asks: Do we have any Italian in our blood? Where are our ancestors from before America? Me: Yes, but you have to say Mediterranean. Alien Scots. This is very ancient! There’s a very high % of instant raging temperament & way-off normal DNA. No wonder my ancestors fought so much against Scots. It was the Norwegians trying to take their land. Vikings with dragons that spewed fire. The violence never ceases. That’s was the X on the Scots flag and in the Confederate States a red X. (Hahahaha, that’s true, but illegal aliens) (I added this after I said it was a story. “That’s awesome” Jaxon wanted to know. Me: And it’s what? Only a story.😳 But true in the end... I didn’t say our DNA says Wales. But, I have a lot of Scot, too and they were a mad bunch. Always, having to fight for their land. Welch people had seriously had a poor life digging for coal. They wanted a new life and say that. Also religious freedom. The Welch started the Tabernacle Choir and Wales is a town off the 89 in Utah. Lots of similar groups wanted to be together. I cried at Liberty Jail knowing a lot of my family were Scottish. I felt in my heart, they persecuted the Saints. The really bad stuff and sold my red-headed Scot great grandmother out to service. In even the worse way. I’m not happy I only know, the secret will stay in my heart. She had 6 children that needed to be here. Grandpa has been in the particle toxic places everyday. It the worse so my voice was taken-away. Scared more than a Packing House with the tiles dropping into the basement. Firefighting Fun? Im looking around and it doesn't come into focus. Argentina is truly a great place and a bunch of Italians. Don't say Monkey when you mean some else. I'm afraid to look it up.

Book of Mormon

This part of another's talk. My feelings listening touched my heart: "Heaven Bound Did you know that Mormon lived his entire life while the Nephites were wicked and the Lamanites waged war against them?! ⁣ ⁣ He never experienced righteousness and peace in the land. ⁣ He didn’t really have any super successful “missions” where he converted a bunch of people. ⁣ ⁣ He didn’t get to perform miracles in front of a bunch of believers. ⁣ ⁣ (This is all at least as far as we know, and I feel pretty fair assumptions based on his descriptions.)⁣ His world was in extreme turmoil, war, and hatred from the moment he was born until he took his dying breath. ⁣ ⁣ And yet he lived a righteous life, followed the Spirit, was visited by the Savior when he was 16 years old, tried to influence his world for good, and took on a writing project that influenced millions of people for years to come His world was in extreme turmoil, war, and hatred from the moment he was born until he took his dying breath. ⁣ (Mormon continued in hope) "Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men " Alma 48:17 ⁣ I don’t know about you, but I’ve definitely had the attitude sometimes that the world needs to go back to “normal” before my real purpose can go back to normal⁣ ⁣ But Mormon never had a “normal” world And he still found a way to be one of the most righteous individuals in history and change history for the better. ⁣ President Nelson taught us recently to: “Embrace your new normal by repenting daily. ⁣ ⁣ “Seek to be increasingly pure in thought, word, and deed. ⁣ “Minister to others. ⁣ ⁣ “Keep an eternal perspective. ⁣ ⁣ “Magnify your callings⁣ ⁣ “And whatever your challenges, my dear brothers & sisters, live each day so that you are more prepared to meet your Maker.”⁣ ⁣ We don’t need to wait for old “normal” to do any of that It’s all available to us right now. ⁣ ⁣ And even if we never go back, even if we keep getting more chaos and hatred and even bloodshed around us- ⁣ ⁣ We still have full access to God, to our Savior, to righteousness, and to fulfilling whatever our purpose might be.
