Seen any squirrels splayed out on the ground lately? Our bushy-tailed friends might be offering a simple lesson.
New missionaries no longer need a COVID-19 vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test to enter the Provo MTC. Masks are also optional for missionaries training at the facility.
I spent nearly half of my mission service training new missionaries. This allowed time for a lot of extra study. I enjoyed this extra study so much that I convinced a couple of my more willing companions to get up early with me even when we weren’t training. Missionaries are fond of bearing comp-a-monies and will often get emotional about what they learned from one another. “Sister So-and-So taught me about charity.” “Sister Thingy taught me about prayer.” You get the drill. When it came to others reflecting on me, it was always, “Sister Lindley taught me how to work.” I was never quite sure how I felt about that. My new comps would invariably tell me after about three weeks how terrified they had been to serve with me due to the taskmaster reputation I had unwittingly earned. They would say, “I’m so surprised that that you are nice, too!” I was never quite sure how I felt about that, either.

In a letter to her husband, Joseph, Emma Hale Smith wrote, “I desire the Spirit of God to know and understand myself, that I might be able to overcome whatever of tradition or nature that would not tend to my exaltation in the eternal worlds. I desire a fruitful, active mind, that I may be able to comprehend the designs of God, when revealed through His servants without doubting.”
Robert F. Kennedy once observed, "Ultimately, America's answer to the intolerant man is diversity, the very diversity which our heritage of religious freedom has inspired." Unfortunately, the appreciation of that diversity is lacking in important and populous parts of the world, which naturally will lead to greater intolerance. Even the United States is not immune. The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life released a study this week showing that nearly one-third of the world's population — 2.2 billion people — lives in nations where either government is imposing greater restrictions on religious freedom or where "social hostilities" against religions are on the rise. Those two things, government restrictions and social hostilities, were measured separately. Hostilities often fall under the category of hate crimes committed through "mob or sectarian violence, harassment over attire for religious reasons and other religion-related intimidation or abuse." The study covers a period from mid-2006 to mid-2009.
