Are We There Yet?

Imagine driving somewhere on a four hour trip.

"Are we there yet?"

"No, three more hours until we get there!"

Maybe some of the seminary students didn't hear the part about going to Zion 1300 miles AS A CLASS. You are either walking with us, or we will drag you.

The miles for every day class total is computed by ADDING all the miles each of you walk and then DIVIDING by 14 for all the students. So you may have completed a whole bunch, but we are all going.

247.6 miles so far reported. We are almost a quarter of the way there.

If you don't divide it by all 14 of you young saints, it is 3466.4 individual miles of goodness! That is an amazing amount of good works! Well done!

It is okay to report for days you are absent from class, YES! When you come back, add up the days you were gone and give us the grand total! That is how we do weekends, the personal prayers, showering, brushing your teeth, telling your parents you love them over the weekend all counts! Add them in on Monday when you come to class.

Going to the temple to do baptisms YES counts!

And for the few of you dragging the rest of us, thank you! Every time you arrive on time for seminary, you helps us with a mile forward! We appreciate your service. The bishop has a great reward for us when we ALL reach our goal.

General Conference is coming! Follow the prophet. Keep heading towards Zion!

Don't be discouraged! Keep up the good work!
