Now I'm happy I didn't do that." , Helvi discussed some of the experiences that led to and built up her testimony of the gospel. "When I thought about joining the Church I got cne cf - the best insights I've ever had," she said. "I got the f eeiing that God was behind the veil, and every act of obedience to some principle we know pokes a hole in that veil. Each time, more and more light and glory will come through. I picture it like a dark night and one by one, stars come out." "There is one other experience I would like to tell you about," she said. "In the years after my baptism I was still young. I saw others building their lives, getting their educations, starting families. I Helvi began ." Since she had not finished sions. She went back to Finland and began to study. After cramming eight years of school into a year and a half, she was admitted to BYU, and began her studies in 1972.

A big piece of rope, 3 inches in diameter and 6 inches long, the kind used by tugs to tow giant freighters on the Great Lakes. If they don't lose the piece of rope and it is not easy to lose and if they remember what it symbolizes, they will never have a chance to forget the great secret of a lasting relationship. . When I give them the piece of rope during the ceremony, I tell them there are two types of happily married people. There are happily married singles and happily married couples. Happily married singles are in fashion today. Each party goes his . or her own way, pursuing his or her interests and pleasures. They are married and they are happy. But they are happily married singles. Happily married couples are different. They depend to a great extent on each other for their happiness. They 1,do" for their partner and they let their partner "do" for them. Theirs, I tell the young marrieds, is a much stronger relationship and more likely to withstand the pulls and stresses of life. "These couples," I add, "are like the piece of rope I'm holding whose strands are twisted and bound up together. jj' B0TTlES ' LIMIT 3 Juvs anpasabte LUV'S TEXAS DISPOSABLE PINK DIAPERS GRAPEFRUIT dmm Convenience U Size a.

To be a part of one of the happiest occasions in human experience is the best antidote there is for cynicism and despair. But I have been marrying people long enough to know that the solemn vows the two persons standing before me make to each other "to love and to cherish till are too death us do part..." often forgotten. So, to keep these young mar-ried- s in mind of the "covenant betwixt them made," I have made it a practice to give them a rather unusual wedding present.

"On my first visit I saw the facilities at BYU and saw how easy it would be to get around in a wheelchair. The desire to study was kindled up When they would say I would think so too. So I fought against it instinctively. But when I had this experience, I realized these three self-pitfeelings envy, and are companfeeling inferior ions, and when I feel inferior I am showing ingratitude to God. I don't acknowledge the gifts he has given me." A third experience Helvi discussed had to do with a book she read about Church President David 0. McKay's missionary experiences in Scotland. "He told of his discouragement and the feeling he had when he read the words on a stone which said 'What'ere thou art, Act well thy part.' It really hit me. I agreed with the words, but I thought, 'What is my part?' I was then given the thought that I am a daughter of God, and I play that role well, it includes also other roles such as being a daughter to my parents, a sister to my sisters and brothers, and a friend to my friends." church.
