mercy

today we had a fireside with Elder Holland. I sat in the front row and shook his hand and gave him a hug (forgot about that Holy land rule. oops.)

He spoke about mercy as the defining characteristic of Jesus Christ. In Matthew, we are commanded to be perfect as our Father in Heaven, but in Luke, we are commanded to be merciful like our Father in Heaven.

Every day, let's find some way to put off the anger and be a little more merciful.

That's one thing that is cool about going to a church school... there is always some sort of neat opportunity to attend a fireside or a banquet with a general authority or other church leader. I miss that.
