Faith and other virtues

These talks are the most heartfelt and pure.  We hear talks from all the wards we visit and we are sooooo impressed with the caliber, intelligence and spirituality of the  speakers we are favored to hear.  I love Sundays.  We are in church almost all day and we are  blessed for the privilege of being here.  
A cute one today, Singles ward....."I love Ammnon, he's my hero, when offered the wife of King Lamoni for saving his animals, Ammon didn't want to get married,  he just wanted to serve.  I'm just like Ammon, I don't want to get married,  I just want to surf." 
We live in the country, out here in the boonies, but we love being here.  We don't have the hustle and bustle of Honolulu side, with the traffic and kukapaila people.  After spending two days in Honolulu the last two days, we drove through the tunnel and we knew we had left the rat race behind.  We also learned a lot about fishing from our convention, and on the way home on the bus.  A woman on our bus, who can't get around very well for physical reasons, is a crackerjack fisherwoman.  She told us some fabulous fish tales, spearing eel, octopus and large fish to feed her family.   Ooooooh we are richer for being here.
