Not many days remain before we move into second level work. The first level is memorizing dialogues, learning grammar, and becoming generally familiar with the language. Second level means concentration on the six discussions.
President Palmer, just recently returned from the Korean Mission and now in BYU's department of Asian Studies, spoke to the combined zones this morning in leadership meeting. As the numbers increase each week in the Language Training Mission, the Social Hall where we meet becomes increasingly crowded. President Palmer continued the tradition of inspirational, informative, and uplifting talks. He chose as his theme the hymn "God Moves in a Mysterious Way," relating it to missionary work by appropriate experiences from his own life and missions.
October's weather here in Utah Valley is the best that could be asked for. The mountains east of Provo no longer retain their brilliant color, but the trees in the valley keep their leaves still. Autumn is a swirl of color. All nature shouts in subtle whisperings that there is a God, the Master Artist. Nights are crisp, afternoons warm. Traces of snow still cling to the top of Timpanogos in the hazy distance. The world can be such a beautiful place.
