November 5th-11th

The biggest key takeaways from this week are that we need to continue to do work on this side of the veil as well as the other side, that we all need to strive to have charity in our lives, and that we all have strengths and weaknesses.


Doing work on this side of the veil is very important and easy to do, it consists of just being a disciple of Jesus Christ and showing that to others. We don't need to do any fancy or elaborate thing to do work on this side, we just need to follow the teachings of the Savior and emulate him as best as we can. If we do this then others around us will see the big impact the Savior has in our lives but they will also strive to become like you because that is what the Savior does. He draws people in through his loving kindness which will radiate off of you. Another crucial part is doing work on the other side, not just consisting of doing work in the Temple for our ancestors but also finding stories about them, getting more information for them so that they can eventually receive their essential ordinances in the temple.

Charity is the pure love of Christ, he completed Charity when he suffered for everybody's physical and spiritual pains. We can not emulate this kind of love to others but we can have charity in our lives through the utilization of the Atonement. When we do that then we will be able to love like Jesus.

We all have strengths and weaknesses, we are all human. But that's the amazing part, we first need to get Jesus in our life but also get people in our lives that will uplift us. We are meant to learn and grow together not alone. We learn and grow our strengths and weaknesses when we spend time with other people striving to keep Jesus at the center of their lives.

 September 24th-30th This week was a good week with learning about things that are right and things that are wrong. In two of my classes we focused on morals and ethics and how it applies not only to how businesses act but how it applies to us in our daily lives. It's helped me realize what things I should and can be lenient with in my life and other situation's and things that I have to be strict with so that I'm able to stay within my own ethics. Another thing that I learned from this week is that the Lord sometimes makes it very obvious with what he wants you to do. He may put the same person in your path everyday until you talk to them, you may repeatedly see the same things that the Lord wants you to look into or he may continue to give you the same impression over and over again until you act on it. From this weeks readings and videos, the most important thing that I took away from it was that we should never bend or break or compromise our own integrity. Integrity is...

  The article written by Handy goes over many things of a business such as virtue and integrity as well as real justification and how it comes into play within the business world and how it applies to individuals and companies. Virtue and integrity are essential to an economy because markets rely on rules and laws. These rules and laws, in turn, depend on truth and trust. If truth is concealed or trust is eroded, the reliability of the market diminishes. The article suggests that if businesses sacrifice truth or erode trust, markets may empty, share prices may collapse, and people may seek alternative places to invest their money. In this context, virtue and integrity contribute to the stability and functioning of the economic system. The article suggests that the real justification for the existence of businesses goes beyond merely making a profit. While making a profit is important, it is considered a means to a larger end. The purpose of a business, according to Handy, is to mak...

  Entrepreneurship isn’t just a career; it is all about the journey you go through and all the various skills and other things you learn along the way. It is a common practice to go from company to company to learn from others and develop your own skills and to understand more fully what it is in life that you want to accomplish. Throughout this process people usually realize what kind of business they want to create and how it will affect the world. Randy Haykin is a prime example of this process, he first started at a larger company and learned and grew his knowledge as well as grew the other people he knew that were on similar paths. This helped him to realize what he wanted and helped him throughout his journey of building up his own business. This is a big thing that I learned this week. I also learned a lot of the second coming and the signs of the times as well as what they mean. Another thing that I learned is that the church is under condemnation regarding the scriptures. ...
