probbiethe1 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) Hello everyone I am planning on building an Android app with the apostles in it and i need some help. What i need is a list of characteristic for each the living apostles. If you can contribute a list for each one or you can only contribute 1 for 1 apostle its ok anything would help. Its ok if apostles have the same characteristic. I just cant think of all of them on my own.Example:Holland - Emotional, Compassionate, Intelligent...Any help would be great thank you.Update- I have changed around my question for help, I have now come up with 12 sets of characteristics that i feel fit the 12 living apostles.

probbiethe1 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Posted October 5, 2011 Thank you for your quick reply. I should have mentioned that I am looking for characteristics of the living apostles. My app is going to be a comparison app. Quote

Snow Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 Thank you for your quick reply. I should have mentioned that I am looking for characteristics of the living apostles. My app is going to be a comparison app.So when you app informs the user that Elder Holland is Emotional, Kind, Intelligent, or Thrifty, Brave, and Handsome, is that to distinguish him from the others that are not Emotional, Kind and Intelligent?Is it any different than the horoscope in the paper that informs the reader that they are courteous, adventurous and that good things are a coming their way?

probbiethe1 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Posted October 5, 2011 I might be reading the reply's wrong but I thought I would get a lot more support from members of the church. But i guess just because the church as a whole has grasped the concept of social media it doesnt mean every member has. If your concerned that I am going to make light of the Apostles, dont be I just felt like it was time for me to show how proud I am to be a member of the only true church and my skills are in Android. For those that are trying to help me out thank you and for every body else I appreciate your input but I dont need it. @skippy740 thanks for the link its great. Quote

Just_A_Guy Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 probbiethe1, when I was at BYU they had a class called "Teachings of the Living Prophets", and it seems to me that part of the course entailed brief biographical sketches regarding each of the current apostles. You may want to call over to BYU's Department of Religious Education, find out who's teaching that course, explain what you're up to, and see if they have a handout or something that they might be willing to share with you.

Check byu.edu for free online courses to see if that is one of them. Quote

But i guess just because the church as a whole has grasped the concept of social media it doesnt mean every member has.I find it rather amusing that you come onto a social medium (a message board) focused on sharing the gospel and accuse people of not having grasped the concept of social media.

Vort, this brings back memories! On one of our family vacations we drove from SLC to Yellowstone, and then up to Canada, and then down through Glacier Natl'l Park, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California, and Nevada. We took a number of cassette tapes with us, Steve Martin being one of them. By the time we were through with this long drive, I think all my children could sing and recite that quote of yours by memory. Ha ha. Quote
