i personally love seminary. i'm in utah where we get a class to go to seminary actually instead of early morning. to hear 10 people is a big class really surprizes me. we have at least 20-25 people in a classroom with 5-8 teachers teaching each class period. very cool to see most the school coming over.:)

so i don't have the information like i thought. all i know is what i did on her computer, her first name and the first digit of her area code. i could go through and find every single person with this very common name with that first digit of 6 that has ever called McAfee, but i don't even know if its possible with our program. i really don't know what to do now. from the looks of my work they won't be calling. i fasted for this kid and now i can't sleep because i think of him too much. it keeps going over and over in my head. it won't get out and i feel responsible for losing all this i could have had to save a childs life or make it better.

i'm not a parent at all, but this needs parental advice. i work for a computer company and help fix peoples computers over the phone. but today i got a stranger than normal phone call. at first it seemed normal. but about 10 minutes into it i hear a man in the background yelling at a little boy who is crying. he is saying "i'm not going to beat you today, just shut up!" i didn't know what to make of it, didn't know if it was kidding or not but he sounded a little mad. he went away and the call went on.. but about 15 minutes later i kept having a gut feeling something wasn't right. i told my mentors over a chat so the whole call center didn't hear and they didn't believe me. they plugged in and listened to my phone call. about a minute after they were listening you could hear something whipping and hitting something really hard. i heard the little boy screaming and he was whipped about 10 times. the lady i was speaking with was just laughing and was doing nothing. after that nothing else really happened that i heard. my mentor and sup discussed calling the police but they don't know if it is against privacy policy to take our recorded phone calls to do that. is that even possible and fair? i'm thinking even if its against company policy that i should call and report it with the phone number and name that we have risking getting fired. this little boys life would be greater to me than my job. what do you think? for all i know though, it could be a fake name and number but this little boy was being beaten more than just a slap.

this is what i have come up with... i don't' know if i need to change it though because in the fundamentals i used scriptures and quotes he used just not all of it and so i might need to change it up.. who knows? what do you think? What is a prophet? In the true to the faith book it says “the prophet is the only person on the earth who receives revelation to guide the entire Church.” “Your greatest safety lies in strictly following the word of the Lord given through His prophets, particularly the current President of the Church. The Lord Warns that those who ignore the words of the living prophets will fall. He promises great blessings to those who follow the President of the Church.” President Ezra Taft Benson has given us fundamentals in following the prophet. --The first was: the prophet is the only man who speaks for the Lord in everything. In D&C 21:4-6 it says “Wherefore, meaning the church, thou shalt give heed unto all his words and commandments which he shall give unto you as he receiveth them, walking in all holiness before me; For his word ye shall receive, as if from my own mouth, in all patience and faith. For by doing these things the gates of hell shall not prevail against you.” --The Prophet will never lead the church astray. President Marion G. Romney had an experience with President Heber J. Grant. He said “I remember years ago when I was a bishop I had President Heber J. Grant talk to our ward. After the meeting I drove him home… Standing by me, he put his arm over my shoulder and said: ‘My boy, you always keep you eye on the President of the Church and if he ever tells you to do anything, and it is wrong, and you do it, the Lord will bless you for it.’ Then with a twinkle in his eye, he said, ‘But you don’t need to worry. The Lord will never let his mouthpiece lead the people astray.’” --The prophet tells us what we need to know, not always what we want to know. President Harold B. Lee Said “You many not like what comes from the authority of the Church. It may conflict with your political views. It may contradict your social views. It may interfere with some of your social life… Your safety and ours depends on whether or not we follow…” --The prophet will not necessarily be popular with the world or the worldly. President Benson said himself “As a prophet reveals the truth it divides the people. The honest in heart heed to his words but the unrighteous either ignore the prophet or fight him. When the prophet points out the sins of the world, the worldly either want to close the mouth of the prophet, or else act as if the prophet didn’t exist, rather than repent of their sins. Popularity is never a test of truth. Many a prophet has been killed or cast out. As we come closer to the Lord’s second coming you can expect that as the people of the world become more wicked, the prophet will be less popular with them.” Popularity does not decide what is right and wrong. Being immodest and doing drugs might be the popular thing to do, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it is right. --The prophet and the presidency –the living prophet and the first presidency – follow them and be blessed – reject them and suffer President. While giving his own talk President Benson told of how Harold B. Lee relates this incident from Church history: “The story is told in the early days of the Church—particularly, I think, at Kirtland, Ohio—where some of the leading brethren in the presiding councils of the Church met secretly and tried to scheme as to how they could get rid of the Prophet Joseph’s leadership. They made the mistake of inviting Brigham Young to one of these secret meetings. He rebuked them, after he had heard the purpose of their meeting. This is part of what he said: ‘You cannot destroy the appointment of a prophet of God, but you can cut the thread that binds you to the prophet of God, and sink yourselves to hell.’ ” I know that President Gordon B. Hinckley is a prophet of God. And I believe everything he says to be the Lord’s words and what he wants us to hear. I know that if I follow what he says that I will be blessed. And I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
