The arrow of light

Jan 3, 2011


Dear Family and Friends,
We didn't do anything special for new years. I guess the most exciting thing was that we did buy some sparkling apple cider. Went to bed at 10:30 and woke up at 6:30.
The ward I’m in now starts at eleven o clock instead of nine and next week we have stake conference and a general authority is coming.

Elder’s Yeaman’s quote of the week: the arrow of light

Explanation: Yesterday in church for part of our lesson we talked about being true and we were asked how to describe true and some one brought up an arrow. A true arrow points one way. It’s not misleading at where it points. We, as Disciples of Christ need to be like that true arrow. Because we talk of Christ, preach of Christ, rejoice in Christ and etc. We need to act as Christ would act. If we are true, if we are true Christians, we will not only speak of Christ but act as Christ. We can say "oh to get to chandler high you need to go east on Knox Rd. until you hit Arizona Ave. Then go south and it'll be on the right side," but if we go north on Arizona Ave., you'll never get there. The arrow on a compass always faces one way. You can turn it all you want but the arrow will always face the same way. Now the compass itself needs to be lined up so that the n (north) matches up with the red arrow and the white arrow matched up with s (south) but if it's not lined up with the north and south, you will never bet where you need to go. or where you want to be. "We become what we want to be, by constantly being what we want to become."
Love Elder Yeaman
