Week 12 Journal Entry

This week was so interesting with the focus on making a difference in the world and becoming a social entrepreneur. I am very interested in non-profit work, so this appealed greatly to me. Having an article written by Muhammad Yunus was good to read. My mission president has mentioned him to me, because Unitus, that helped found, was based on the principles of Yunus. Also, I really loved the talk given by Elder Gay. I didn't know that he was one of the people who helped found Unitus as well! What an inspirational man. I love that he talked about having the picture of the Martin Harris farm on his office wall as a reminder to not covet and to consecrate our wealth to the building up of the kingdom of God. There are a lot of lessons that I learned from this talk, but it was especially emotional to me to hear the story of the young woman in Darfur. I hope that I remember not only how blessed I am, but that Heavenly Father intends for me to use those blessings to help rescue His children.
