Wilson 1:1-10
1. "And it came to pass in the first nine months of the ministry of Elder and Sister Wilson in Swaziland, many Mission Blessings were showered upon them. Sister Wilson bought a pineapple from the market place and yea, even the merchant, Nathi, requested baptism after the first lesson and now serves as second councilor in the Branch Presidency.
2. Now behold, this was just the beginning of the blessings poured out upon them. Tembi, Gift, Lwazi, and Reon soon entered the waters of baptism. The powers of heaven continued to be manifest.
3. Yea, this is not all. For twelve other elders were experiencing the same kinds of success.
4. As there must be opposition in all things, the adversary, with his angels, began to manifest themselves. Elder Wilson came down with Tick Fever. Other elders had sicknesses. Fathers began to deny wives and children opportunity to attend Church and be baptized. Elders were involved in car accidents.
5. And thus we see that when great things are happening in the Kingdom, the Dark One is not so happy. He will never run away, but will unleash every opposition available.
6. Now we see that the Lord blesses those who exercise faith, even with cleverness, to overcome the adversary. Now behold, Elder Wilson, knowing the plan of the Evil One is to go against all that is good, saw a way to ensure the victory of his beloved Cougars. It was apparent that whoever he chose, the Evil One would, if unrighteousness was ripe, cause the opposite team to win.
7. Thus we see that Mission Blessings were added with a win by the Cougs, and the Devil, who was laughing, thinking he was still destroying the work, angrily slithered away.
8. Behold, this is not all . . . the worth of many souls was manifest in this victory.
9. Now your father will see you eye to eye and judge ye of his cleverness!
10. And thus it is. Amen."

That is pretty clever Dad!!! I knew you hadn't lost the faith!!!:)
That is too funy! I love it!
Good thing you know how the adversary works cause I think everyone else chose BYU to win so if you hadn't figured it out we'd be really sad. Thanks Dad! Hopefully you chose them to lose the rest of the year too!
well i don't really care how we win or what kind of backwards faith we have to use as long as we win. i'll have to let Elyse know that i listened to the pregame show and they won so that means i have to listen to it everytime they play so they win on out.
You all make me smile. ^_^
I guess the adversary threw you a curve ball and thwarted your infinite wisdom. So it came to pass that there were many cougar fans who boasted in their beloved teams victory. Therefore seeing their exceedingly great pride and being ripe for destruction. They were compelled to humble themselves by recieving a major beatdown by a visiting foe.
I guess the quest for perfection shirts will once again be consigned to the back of closets and cedar chests.
That last comment was all tony in case you didn't know!!!
