Had to go down to the hospital and lift his shirt to prove he had not had the surgery before the hospital would let him off the hook. Months earlier a telemarketer had phished him for his personal information. He told Joe that these questions were all normal.

– A master has three servants. He gives the amount of money to his servants depending upon the previous capabilities they’ve displayed. Two servants doubled the amount of money they were given. The third hid his talent.
– If you don’t strive and improve upon the talents you were given and not improve them you will lose them altogether.
– Talk; parables of Jesus in conference
– Seek earnestly the talents God has given you. Can be seen by the interests you pursue. Include different activates. Study and ponder your patriarchal blessing. Consult friends, family, and others and see what they see.

– Acknowledge gods hand in our success. Some talents were given before our birth. Some were developed on earth.

Good: rapport
Bad: repore

A good rapport could be where two people get alone and the two P is for each end of the people getting along RaPeoplePeopleort. Or Rapport. Let’s say the two people meet at a sea PORT might be a way to remember the last part of the spelling.
