Grammar Issues- From Bollywood with Love.

Let me start this off by establishing that I am not perfect. Especially so in the world of English. However, as I have learned a few of the basic rules of grammar, I feel that everyone should comply. While there is no way to enforce this, there should be. The other night, my friends and I were having an Indian movie night. This weeks movie was Dhoom 2. For the sake of everyone that is unfamiliar with Bollywood movies, they are super cheesy. This movie appeared to be an attempt to make an Americanesque action flick. The result was rather hilarious, but captivating at the same time. Most Indian movies are in Hindi, with English subtitles and an occasional English phrase. The makers of these movies want them to be enjoyed by Americans as well. the only problem is those awful subtitles!  These are some examples for the movie.
- "I'll get you'll!"             -"Excuse me please you"
And the list goes on. If you want us to watch it, make it readable!

Reflections on a Consecrated Life

This past General Conference was a big one. There was and still is some controversy over a talk or two, but that isn't the ground I wanted to cover.
              While I was on my mission, I read a great talk entitled "Consecrate thy Performance" by Neal A Maxwell. It instantly became one of my favorite talks. I loved it because it helped me understand better the giving of our lives to the Lord. We give much time and talent to the Lord, but it always seems that we hold a few things back. Keeping back a piece here or there, we never fully consecrate ourselves. Elder Maxwell helped me understand that the more I become like my Savior, the more I become like my true self. It was in that same direction that Elder Christofferson spoke this past conference.
               Many of us misundersand consecration-- we feel that what is involved in giving all we have is more than we can handle. Elder Christofferson didn't speak about the United Order, physically sharing everything right now, but he talked about giving everything that we are to the Lord. This was my favorite talk in Conference because it hits the mark of what I am supposed to be and how I am supposed to do it.

Writing Class Notes-- Of all things!

Right as I'm talking, I'm in my writing class. I'm supposed to be taking some stellar notes, but I'm going through a small crisis. Our teacher, Sister Steadman, said that we have a portfolio due in one week from right now. Ravioli, holy Cannoli I don't want to do that. However, I have to so I can graduate and get braces for my future children. I'm not too sure what I am supposed to be taking notes about, but it's kind of fun to type mindlessly. Oh! Now I've been given direction, I'm supposed to write about a conference talk. I think I am going to write about D. Todd Christofferson's talk on Consecration. It was an awesome talk. Right now we're discussing Elder Boyd K. Packer's talk. It turns out that the same talk is causing a lot of conflict with certain Liberal groups. There are always people upset during general conference time. Can you believe that?
Of course President Thomas S. Monson always has a way of helping us feel the Spirit. His talk on gratitude was something to be grateful for. He also spoke about how we need more missionaries. That's my notes!
