Yet Another Excerpt from The Book of Janel

  1. Now in that day, my brother Derek did live in Salt Lake. And he had gone to the land of Mexico to preach the gospel, and had returned three years before I wrote this record.
     
  2. And it came to pass that he did go unto Weber State and received a degree, yea even a degree in the science of computers. And he did also receive a job in the land of Salt Lake.
     
  3. Wherefore my brother did move unto the land of Salt Lake. And his friend Steve did also move with him, and they did live together as roommates.

  4. Nevertheless, my brother did not date, neither did he marry, for he found the women not pleasing in his sight.

  5. And it came to pass in the summer months that Steve did go unto the land of Boston to install alarms of security. Wherefore my brother did lose his roommate, which grieved him for he had no one else to pay the rent.

  6. Wherefore a friend of my brother moved in with him. Now this friend was engaged and was to be married in the fall, thus Steve could move back in when he returned from the land of Boston.

  7. And it came to pass that the fiance of the friend had a former mission companion who lived in the land of Provo. And the name of this companion was BriAnn.
     
  8. And the friend and fiance decided that my brother should date this companion. Wherefore, they did set up a date of blindness.And it came to pass that BriAnn was pleasing in the sight of my brother Derek, wherefore he dated her much.

  9. And she went to the waters of Pineview with him, and he was injured and did think his arm was broken. Nevertheless, she did go up with him unto the hospital, yea and drove him home unto the land of Salt Lake, and also to the office of the doctor in the land of Salt Lake.
     
  10. And behold, he did require surgery. But the it was found that the tendon was not torn, only the muscle therein. Wherefore, the doctor just cleaned everything out.

  11. And it came to pass that because of her exceeding great goodness, my brother Derek asked BriAnn to marry him. And she accepted.

  12. And they determined to be married in the house of the Lord in the land of Vernal, for that was the place where she was baptised. And they determined to married in the month of November.

  13. And my family did rejoice in these good tidings for we also found BriAnn pleasing in our sight.

Postscript
  1. And it came to pass that my brother and the fiance of my brother did change the location of their wedding. And they did change it to the house of the Lord in Salt Lake.

  2. Wherefore these were pleasing unto them, and also to my family. And finish my record. Adieu.

Another one bites the dust... ;) I'm really happy for them! And I'm glad you carried on the tradition of announcing marriages through "scripture".

Hooray for the book of Janel! I love reading your blogs in scripture format. It reminds me of the time we had the three way chat going with all of us speaking scripture-ese. :) Congrats to Derek and BriAnn!
