Committing to the thought that I will give myself to the service of fellow human beings despite inconvenience or hardship brings fast results. Things come up that give me the choice to do just that.
The missionaries texted me last night to see if I would go with them to the *** house. It seemed like a blessing from God because I felt like I should do something more than waste away the evening at home, but I knew I would have trouble motivating myself. It was a great visit. It gave me the opportunity to invite *** to our movie night that the EQ is having this evening, and *** wanted a blessing, which I was voice for with the missionaries. It was a touching experience.
After that, near 8pm, Sienna and I went for a walk. It was nice to get back to that with her. It had been a little while.
Real Estate
As we walked our normal route through the Cirrus Drive neighborhood I noticed the signs I had placed for Cirrus Drive Life had been removed. I’m a little disappointed, but will just set my mind to finding another way to get attention.
Today I will check on the Dartmoor and Varga listing to make sure all is well, then head to Boise.
I plan on taking photos at the Purdue house on the bench today. It’s supposed to be a clear day. It will be interesting to have a listing on the Boise Bench.
I think I’m going to start focusing more on documenting my life. It’s awkward because it feels concieted. Who am I to think someone would be interested in following my life. It’s the equivalent of taking photos of what I eat for breakfast and posting it online.
But something inside my head tells me this is the next step of my project. we’ll see how this goes.
Manifesting Faith
I have the idea to add a new section to my daily journal that I will call manifesting. I don’t really like that label because it’s the secular version of something I regard as religious faith. So, now that I’ve clarified that in my own head, I’ll just label it “faith”.
- Today, I will have the opportunity to have a conversation with someone that provides encouragement in the face of their adversity, and I will be mindful of when that opportunity presents itself.
- Also, a new person will come into my life that has an above average interest in real estate.

“What profit a man if he gain the whole world yet loses his soul.”
This passage came to mind as I was thinking about section 18 but don’t have my scriptures on hand.
A major theme of the Doctrine + Covenants is putting away worldly concerns for the sake of saving God’s children. Section 18 Emphasizes the ‘why’ of doing that. We give of ourselves to build God’s Kingdom because it saves people, and people are worth it. Very valuable actually.
