followers of my faith [Mormon Monday 27]

Last week at dinner group it turned out that we girls were very interested in the Iron Man puzzle ball at our host's apartment. None of us had ever solved a puzzle ball before and the temptation was too great to pass up.

As we worked diligently, things kept coming up that related our puzzle to the gospel. "The next person to give a talk in sacrament should use this as an example," one said.

"I'll just put it on my blog," I replied. Then blushed. "It's a secret blog."

(It's so secret you guys. Also I am not socially awkward at all.)

Here's what we discovered in our struggles with the puzzle ball:
1. If a piece isn't fitting, maybe the foundation is wrong. You have to make sure your foundation is right before you can build on the best way.
2. Check the instructions/blueprint. You'll never know which Iron Hand goes where if you don't have an idea of the big picture.
3. If you overstay your welcome long enough, your host will wash your dishes for you. (That one's not gospel-related, except it kind of is.)
4. We all have different talents. I made two matches and felt like a major contributor. Don't disparage others' efforts just because they're not on the same level as your own. (My friends are such a good example of this.)

Yeah, I'm not very good at puzzles.
