vineyard. The one where they all come at different times, but get the
same pay? In my mind I'm thinking. Hey! That's not fair I've worked
harder then everyone else but I get the same pay? And Christ tells us
that is a sinful way to think. So crap. But I finally figured it out!
Elder Oaks gives an awesome e talk called The Challenge to Become this
is how he explains it.
Like other parables, this one can teach several different and valuable
principles. For present purposes its lesson is that the Master�fs
reward in the Final Judgment will not be based on how long we have
labored in the vineyard. We do not obtain our heavenly reward by
punching a time clock. What is essential is that our labors in the
workplace of the Lord have caused us to become something. For some of
us, this requires a longer time than for others. What is important in
the end is what we have become by our labors.
So yup. I get it now.
Anyway! We got three goaches this week! Wahoo. A goach is when the
members feed you. Not sure why it is called that, but ya. The work is
still kind of slow here. We are trying to focus and help the
investigators we progress. We are also trying to improve our
relationship with the ward and find new people. But, all is well! I
can't believe it is June already! Time is flying. I hope you are all
enjoying your lives. The weather finally changed! Bam in one day it
went from like 60 degrees to 85 wahoo! I'm already getting some nice
tan lines!
Love you all.
