Hey, hey guys, what's up.

Thanks for joining me and that's Somali Mormon podcast, another mini-sode for you.

Today's minisode is an email that I just want to quickly read and hope you guys enjoy.

Last October, while facetiously watching the LDS General Conference, I remember hearing a

quote unquote moral message during the women's session.

The story went like this. Elder James E. Talmadge taught that there were 13 chess, and into

these the people dropped their contributions. Oh my gosh, contributions. I can talk. They dropped their contributions for the different purposes indicated by the inscriptions on the boxes.

Jesus watched the lines of donors made up of all different types of people.

Some gave their gifts with sincerity of purpose, while others cast in great sums of silver and gold,

hoping to be seen, noticed, and praised for their donations.

Among the many was a poor widow who dropped into one of the treasure chests two small bronze coins known as mites.

Her contribution amounted to less than half a cent in American money.

The Lord called his disciples about him, directed their attention to the poverty-stricken widow and her

deed, and said, verily, I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast more in than all they which have cast into the treasury,

for all they did cast in of their abundance, but she of her want did cast in all that she had,

even all her living. The widow did not appear to hold a noticeable position in the society of her time.

She actually held something more important.

Her intentions were pure, and she gave all that she had to give.

Perhaps she gave less than others, more quietly than others, differently than others.

In the eyes of some what she gave was insignificant, but in the eyes of the savior, the discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart, she gave her all.

Okay, that's the end of the story. Back to the letter.

The first thing that came to mind was the discrepancy between the church's net worth annual income and the total amount given to charities and welfare projects by the church.
