Inactive Elf on the Shelf

Week 13 - July 27, 2020

My good friend, Elfie, has followed me to Ohio and mysteriously shows up in our fridge, shower, scripture bags and pillowcases. (If you find him, you HAVE to hide him.)

Sister Anderson despises this elf but continues to hide it because "that's the rules." But one day she had enough of it and left it out on the counter. Then two little girls stopped by to say hi and their eyes locked onto the elf.

My mind raced, thinking of how I could explain why Santa's magical elf was in my possession in the middle of July. 

"Oh, that's Elfie, he's inactive so Santa sent him to us to learn." 

While I'm not in the same boat as Elfie, I was sent here to learn. Kirtland is a place of preparation, where I am able to fully give myself to studying and learning! The best moments of learning surprise me, they're simple moments that hit hard when I have my mind open. So often I have thoughts that fill my heart, but then life continues and I get distracted. So...

Follow your thoughts! GO and DO. Learning comes as we continue to act. 

Assignment time: write down something that you've learned today and then apply it to your life! Do something with it!

Love big! Love hard!
