In St. Helena, there is a sign advertising pumpkins on the corner of a main street.
As you can see, it is spelled wrong. When I first saw this sign, I was laughing, thinking what kind of an idiot misspells an "advertisement" sign? I would be SO embarrassed if I had been the one to make that sign. Five weeks have gone by since I first saw that sign.
A week before February started, I wrote in our missionary dinner calendar that gets passed around the Relief Society women every Sunday. I wrote, "Missionary Dinner Calendar". and I was so proud of myself because I made it all cute and Valentine's Day-y. I thought it was the envy of any missionary dinner calendar. A few weeks later, after having it passed around multiple Sundays for all to see, my companion Sister Powell pointed something out to me...
Can you see what's wrong with it? I CAN. I felt like a complete idiot. Especially since I was being so judgemental of the person who made the "Pumkins" sign. I couldn't help but laugh and feel utterly ridiculous for my mistake and the lesson I learned... NEVER point out other people's mistakes, because you're bound to make that same exact mistake somewhere along the way. Thank you Heavenly Father for bring my ego down to a non-existent speck. I hope you can learn from my mistake, I'm gonna go cry in a hole now.
