I have tried\u00a0 with all my might to come up with an appropriate conclusion to the intended three-part saga of my Prince’s new calling, but my creative juices have been diverted of late and have left my writing skills high and dry.\u00a0 I’ve decided that I shall finish the story in modern-day prose, with an anecdote that happened yesterday:<\/p>\n
We were introduced to a wonderful woman named Andrea (pronounced “ahn-DRAY-uh”) a few weeks ago by the Elders who were teaching her the gospel.\u00a0 She came to our home for a lesson and dessert, and I liked her immediately.\u00a0 She is from Bolivia (I think), and has a darling accent.\u00a0 She works at a hospital, so her schedule is pretty hectic and prevents her from attending church every week.\u00a0 Yesterday, she didn’t get home until late into the afternoon, so she missed the meetings, but she called the Elders and asked them if they would come over – and to please bring the Hoffmans, if they could come!\u00a0 So the four of us went to see her and had a great talk about the Godhead and the importance of having a living prophet in our day to help us better understand the nature of God.\u00a0 Jim, of course, had his scriptures out and brought up several points that were specifically based on verses from the Old and New Testament.\u00a0 He is such a wonderful teacher – I love listening to him!<\/p>\n
Well, apparently, Andrea felt the same way.\u00a0 She suddenly sat straight up on the couch and said (referring to Jim and myself), “You know what – he is like FIRE!\u00a0 She is so sweet and quiet and teaches nice, but he is like PAUL:\u00a0 he is so strong, and has a testimony like fire!”<\/p>\n
And she is right.\u00a0 This is a wonderful calling for my amazing husband, and it’s only just begun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
