Monday, September 22nd, 2008In the corner of this website, there is a space which reads, “contributors”, and under it, reads the name, “Lei”, my pseudonym.

Surprise Missionary Moment
Thursday, July 31st, 2008I had just wrapped two wedding gifts. I sat staring at the the package, contemplating the pressing question of whether a silver bow really looked good on a silver package, when my door bell rang.

I had to laugh in spite of her serious face. Over the past few weeks […]

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008Recently, I was asked to help with the New Beginnings program in our ward. Each of the Laurels were one of the seven values, and I was “Choice and Accountability”. When my friend, (doing this as a project), asked me to be “Choice and Accountability”, I thought, “No big deal!”
I started looking up […]
A New Calling, A New Challenge
Monday, March 24th, 2008This Sunday I was called to be the Relief Society Chorister. The problem is that I don’t know very much about music. Oh I know how to lead some of the songs and I’m not afraid to fake it if I have to. But I’m usually better at following the piano than setting the time […]
