SUNFLOWER OBSESSION

We are in love with the sunflowers here in Hungary.  They just keep growing taller and the heads keep getting bigger.  It is such a beautiful site as we drive through the country side of Hungary.  It is fun to watch their heads follow the sun all day and then in the evening turn back to the east to welcome the sun the next morning.  Hungarians cook a lot with oil, so sunflower seed oil is a big production here in Hungary.  We are not too concerned about that we are just obsessed with the beauty and the personality of this plant.

In the evening the heads turn back towards the east to welcome the sun in the morning!

Our faith is like a seed.  It we plant it in our heart and nourish it, it will begin to grow Alma taught us this great principle in Alma 32: 32-34.  "Therefore, if a seed growth it is good, but if it growth not, behold it is not good, therefore it is cast away.  And now, behold, because ye have tried the experiment, and planted the seed, and it swelleth and sprouteth, and beginneth to grow, ye must needs know that the seed is good.  And now, behold, is your knowledge perfect?  Ye, your knowledge is perfect in that thing, and your faith is dormant: and this because you know, for ye know that the word hath swelled your souls, and ye also know that it hath sprouted up, that your understanding doth begin to be enlightened, and your mind doth begin to expand."
