bluebirdies and cream

it followed me home. i am most displeased. as for the trip, just imagine: me, in a small cabin, with a bunch of adolecence females, surrounded by five feet of snow, for three days. weird weird weird. nah, actually it wasn't all that bad. we had fun, and i'm excited for camp. i'm gonna be the coolest ycl ever. it's the week before efy too. by the time i go back to work, i'll be twitching convusively. YUS!
on a completely other note (minor), the siblings' stake dance was a party. i'm such a nerd. but it's okay. i'm glad the m-vites came. though i got snow down my collar...
hmmm, and speaking of snow, i have a thought for you to ponder, before i finish and go to cal; how did nephi know what driven snow looked like? they don't have snow in jeruselam, do they?

good question.. i wonder if it was some sort of.. saying.. in reformed egyptian that doesn't exist in english so they make do or something.

Or maybe he had been to mountains in the Promised Land. If you think about it, we technically live in a desert. When did he say "driven like snow"?

miss terri said...

true. he says it when he's talking about lehi's dream. about the fruit and the whiteness thereof. they'd just barely left. that's what makes me curious. he hadn't been anywhere. but then, perhaps since he wrote his account just before he dies then it was a later correlation from something that he had seen in the Promise Land. or, my mom said something about them being merchants. perhaps they'd been to italy or somewhere.

I'm BACK!!!!!!!

Well, he doesn't write about the journey as the journey is happening. The Lord commanded him to write it later. Remember, Lehi had an account of events, so Nephi didn't see the point, even when the Lord told him to. At that point, he did it out of obedience.

Anyhow, I don't really know the answer to your question.

girls camp... this is my 7th year going, they kind of forced me into going this year, I've gone way too many times...
most of the time all you need is a mountain and you'll get snow... and when they had visions they were "taken up into a mountain"... dunno, i'll get a scripture reference for you

collinhead said...

ha, i just read your blog again, guess i missed a line there-- snow down your collar? who did that?

miss terri said...

gee, i dunno...any guesses?
i'm excited to go to camp. it's my first as a ycl. once, i wasn't 16, the next year we didn't go. i didn't have super good ycls my first year, so i'm going to be awesome.

nicole said...
