Yesterday was an exciting day for a couple reasons. For one, Elder Newell had to pack (going to Brno, Czech Republic) (and that's actually sad news). Also, it was my first time making bryndzové halušky all by myself. There are two parts to bryndzové halušky; there's bryndza and halušky. I made what I thought was pretty good bryndzové halušky. When Elder Newell tried it, he discovered that I had missed a very important aspect of bryndzové halušky: the bryndza. We tried throwing the bryndza in the already made halušky, but it turned out really clumpy. Happy last day in Slovakia, Elder Newell.

Imagine someone who doesn't know how to read the train book to find train times to Bratislava. Thankfully, he has a friend to help him. If he asks his friend to simply find the times for him every time, his friend might not be so inclined to help. But if instead he tries to figure out how to read the book and has a question in the process, his friend is probably more than willing to help.
Likewise, God needs to see that we're making effort to solve our problems, and he is there to help. But part of the point of problems is to learn by solving them. And questions along the way are good, that's how we learn.
