It is over.  Now it is time to move on.  We are not in the US but still have observed the rat race about being the president.  It was interesting to observe the nation, the two running against each other, laugh at the polls, and finally see the results.

Our fair city of Santiago

I was excited to see that possibly there would be a High Priest running the strongest nation in the world, with his motivation being furthering the Kingdom, along with leading our glorious country.  I envisioned the possibilities of furthering missionary work, opening new countries to the gospel, helping in the new missionary plans that are even now going forward, etc.  I was excited.  Then it happened. The pollsters were correct, Romney lost and Obama won.

So now Joseph Smith's statement goes through my mind, (paraphrasing)  "no unhallowed hand can stop the work from going forward...until it has penetrated every ear on the earth..."  I, in my limited view, figured that having President Romney help in that work would be a great big asset in that work.  But again in my limited view, I realize that Father knows what He is doing and the work is progressing without my input.  There are divine reasons why Mitt Romney was not elected president, and perhaps in the coming years we will know some of those reasons.  All is going forward as Father would have it go.  His divine plan for accomplishing His work has not been thwarted, as I first thought, He is in charge, and Mitt was not supposed to win.

(Bonnie gets frustrated when I pontificate, or preach, or just share feelings, but I felt I had to write the above for my own benefit if for nothing else.)

Love the work, and thus back to it, helping our Savior in His purposes for sending us to this place.
