So Much Good Stuff!

Gooooooood morning boys and girls!  Well Ive been thinking a lot lately about what i should write about on my new blog and then it hit me.  wWhat is something elder lee cannot live without?.....FOOD!!!!  One of my favorite is MONGOLIAN BBQ! It just has too much good stuff to choose from and that is exactly why I love going there.  Instead of just choosing one item off the menu I can choose many different items that i think will go together and they usually do.  So close your eyes...and no peeking! alright now imagine you just came into mongolian bbq and you get to the first set of items(meat), now ask yourself these questions, do you want it? Is it worth adding it?  Are you going to want more?  okay figured it out, good! now on to the next set of goodies(vegetables).  So what would go good with all that meat you put on, maybe some carrots, some celery and ahh ha some cilantro.  You want this to be the best bowl ever!  Me personally, I try and put as much in the bowl as possible because its too good to only have a little bit at a time.  Alright your bowl of perfection is almost ready now onto the last ingredient....SAUCES!!  Do you want it more sweet or sour, or hot or mild?  there are many choices to choose from, but what the heck add them all!  Alright....its done! time to hand it over to one of those guys whose arms arnt sensitive to heat and thats why they can stir food over a 1000 degree grill.  Its finally cooked and ready to eat, and as you take that first bite it is so good you think its christmas morning and your eyes start to tear up.  bite after bite goes down and you can now say "wow that was delicious, i want more later!"  Eating an excellent bowl of mongolian bbq is just like reading our scriptures, for me personally when I get home from a hard days work I dont want just a small plate of food but rather something I can keep eating because its so delicious!  Thats how the scriptures should be taken.  As we read and ponder the message it contains we will begin to want more and more, and it will become a great habit to have.  I know that as i have started reading the book of mormon my testimony has strengthened so much and I can really understand more and more of what it pertains.  so take the challenge, start by reading a verse at a time, I promise heavenly father is going to bless your lives so much as you follow his teachings.  Last but not least, think of the Book of Mormon as a treasure map to eternal life.  In them it tells what we can do to have that happiness we all long for! "If ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, behold thus saith the Father :  Ye shall have eternal life"- 2 nephi 31:20
