Acorn to Oak*
On December 6, 1925 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Elder Melvin J. Ballard dedicated South America for the preaching of the Gospel. Years later, speaking of the work taking place, Elder Melvin J. Ballard proclaimed, “The work of the Lord will grow slowly for a time just as an oak grows slowly from an acorn… The work here is the smallest it will ever be. The South American Mission will become a power in the Church.”

Undoubtedly, the Church has grown by leaps and bounds – but not without its struggles. Today the Church in Argentina struggles with the public image of an American church, many unemployed and underemployed members, and a weak Latter-Day Saints (LDS) business network. Also, many young, faithful Saints have difficulty in finding a companion because LDS communities are often small and geographically dispersed.

Here’s what a picture from Flickr would look like on my WordPress blog at Bellota a Roble. I’m still not sure what we will be doing with this, but it’s worth a try. Ciao!

I want to see what posting on WordPress looks like vs. Blogger. Something tells me I like the look/feel of wordpress better.

With that said, Blogger is very easy to “install” on other servers.

Does WordPress allow me wrap text around the picture?

Scrolling

How does this Hemmingway theme do when asked to scroll?

What if I try quoting someone?

I use… the following priorities

1. What I get paid for
2. What will increase my families security & happiness
3. What will avoid grief
4. What will improve my financial position
5. What could I get paid for
6. What makes me feel warm & fuzzi

mercenary tinged with just enough mush
