HANG ON

two days ago i was feeling disturbed by something that happened at work.

apparently i was there when my team leader immediately marked up the price of 3 photos to a tourist who took out a stack (yes, a stack of $50 bills) of money. it was supposed to cost $35 but was charged $54 instead.
i was attending to someone else so i just shot a quick glance to him as i heard what he said.

of course the visitor didn't have a problem parting with an extra $19, but i was a little disappointed with my team leader because he reasoned that it was because "he could afford it" and it was to "push up our sales". i let him know what i thought but was brushed aside. "besides," he told me, "jimmy (the other team leader) does it too."

the fact was that i really didnt care if jimmy or a giant turtle did it, it was unethical/not right and he knew it. when you let go of the ropes and standards that you have been clinging on to your whole life, it can be hard tyring to get back on track.

i was pretty upset and was still disturbed when i went for saturday conference. i was just going for the session due to obligation and because Pres Lai invited the institute students to go for it.

half way when he was referring about somethimg else, he mentioned this.."sometimes we cannot control the moral agency of others." and i was like.. yeah. that's really true. i couldnt control what moral choices my team leader was making so i might as well just let it go, move on and make sure i dont do the same thing. stake conference does help answer your questions and the leaders of the church are truely called of God!

stake youth fireside tonight. be there or be square!
