one by one,

until the universe was just...

Overwhelmingly beautiful.

Line upon line,

precept on precept

That is how he lifts us

That is how he teaches

his children

Line upon line upon line

upon line upon line

Line upon line,

precept on precept

Like a summer shower

Giving us each hour

His wisdom

His wisdom

If we are patient,

we shall see

How the pieces fit together

in harmony

We'll know who we are

in this big universe

And then we'll live with Him

forever

But until it happens

- Line upon line

- Line upon line

- Precept on precept

- Upon line

- Like a summer shower

- Upon line

Giving us each hour

His wisdom

His wisdom

Line upon line upon line

There are billions of stars.

And even trillions more

we can't even see.

A whole universe of possibility.

I just can't imagine

throwing all that away

just because we don't

understand it right now.

If we are patient,

we shall see

How the pieces fit together

in harmony

We'll know who we are

in this big universe

And then we'll live with Him

We'll live with Him

But until it happens

Line upon line

Precept on precept

Like a summer shower

Giving us each hour

His wisdom

His wisdom

Upon line upon line

I love you, Pam.

Me too.

You gonna fix things with Dad?

Yeah.

I'll get right on that.

Mm!

I had a really great time

tonight.

You did?

- Yeah.

- Oh.

I feel like all I did was talk

about Wally the whole time.

Oh.

Is he cute?

I don't know.

I've never seen him.

Can you hear

what they're saying?

Well, I value our friendship

very, very much.

I feel like I could tell you

anything... as a friend.

No, no, no!

Uh, I'll call you.

Boys!

Hot date?

Wally... Peter...

is just a friend.

Yeah.

He looked... friendly.

Hey.

Spy on me again...

Watch what happens.

I'm just glad you're not crying

anymore.

You just might want to

let Wally know.

There is nothing to tell.

Peter is...

Just a friend.

Peter? She's dating Peter?

Oh, man.

I think we're

the worst team of missionaries

the world has ever known.

How many converts do we have,

Greene?

Hm?

- W-Well...

- Zero.

Zero.

Does anybody care about truth?

Hm?

- No.

- Well, I...

No.

- Salvation? No.

- People...

No.

Kiss it goodbye.

I don't get it.

Do you get it?

- Maybe.

- Think about...

I'm the most obedient person

I've ever known, okay?

No one's worked harder

than I have.

Name one missionary that's...

- Cook's worked...

- No!

Cook?

No.

And what do I have to show

for it, huh?

Rejection.

- Nothing but pure rejection.

- This is a journey...

And today... today,

the worst rejection of them all.

It's not supposed to be

like this, Greene.

Kestler.

Whose work is this?

It's mine.

I mean... it's the Lord's.

- It was a trick question.

- Right.

So maybe it's not so much

about what we're doing.

Maybe if we stop trying

to be better than...

- I'm not trying to be better...

- and trust that we're enough.

- Trust in Him for a change!

- Him?

Yes!

Follow me.

Hold up. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I'm the senior companion.

- You know that.

- That's right.

So get up.

I don't believe this.

- Give me the letter.

- Come on.

Give me the letter.

Give me the letter.

There are people here, Elder,

who need what we have.

Who?

I mean, just look around.

There are just goldens

everywhere.

Like them.

Them?

- No.

- Elder.

Watch this.

No.Hey

Please don't.

- Hey!

- Hello, brother.

Um, do you think

you could play me something

with a little Idaho soul?

Why would you ask him?

That'd be great

if you could do that.

No, you don't have to. Really.

Why would you say that?

No, don't pay him.

Don't give him any...

Idaho soul.

Yeah.

Please don't.

That's it.

That's it.

Stop. Stop.

Stop.

What are you doing?

Greene.

Greene, stop.

Please.

Why... Why are you...

Greene, stop.

Stop.

You're freaking everybody out.

Brothers and sisters, friends,

those are the sounds

of that great state Idaho,

from whence I come to bring you

a message of salvation.

- No. Unh-unh.

- Today, this very...

No.

No, they don't.

- Unh-unh.

- Kestler, put me down.

- What are you doing?

- I'm saving you.

Greene.

Hey!

Hey.

What are you doing here?

Have you ever pondered

that question before?

'Cause we have the ans...

You see, Elder?

The field is white.

- Don't. Don't.

- Come on.

Sir? Sir?

Uh. Where you going?

Okay.

No, no.

Hey.

You want...

Yeah.

Thanks.

God loves you.

Hey, kid, how old are you?

I'm 7.

Forget it.

Elder, I'm telling you, okay?

They don't know it yet,

but I know there are people here

that are waiting for us.

And we're not gonna

let them down.

Let's go!

I take some paper in my hand

And with a pencil draw a man

A dream of what I'd really,

really like to be

A man with courage

in his brow

Who's licked his doubts

and fears somehow

A warrior of great nobility

But who am I?

Just a wandering kid

A cipher on the wall

Not even brave at all

And where's my dream like his

that I would fight for?

And where's my cause like his

that I would die for?

And in his eyes,

he's not afraid

Because, you see,

he's got it made

The dream of what I'd really,

really like to be

A brave and noble

fiery youth

Who's not afraid to die

for truth

Who's tall and straight

But best of all, he's free

But who am I?

Just a wandering kid

A cipher on the wall

Not even brave at all

And where's my dream like his

that I would fight for?

And where's my cause like his

that I would die for?

And still the paper's

in my hand

And every day

I sketch that man

Who knows the truth

and what life's all about

My conscience says

I should be him

I guess I could

at least begin

But chances are

I'd probably

Strike out

Julie, I'm just here to listen.

And m-maybe help...

If you want.

- Mom?

- Mm-hmm.

Uh, I don't know...

Mm-hmm.

- How it happened.

- Okay.

Um, but I don't know what to do.

Hm.

So, Peter and I have been

spending a lot of time together.

Alone.

Oh.

Okay.

I'm listening.

Mom?

Mm-hmm.

Peter proposed to me!

Oh, my gosh.

I honestly thought that...

What?!

You are 18 years old!

You were 19

when you married Dad.

Almost 20.

And look how happy you guys are.

Oh, honey, we're not that happy.

- Uh, I mean... I mean...

- You're not?

Okay.

We... We are, but...

Okay. Listen.

Listen.

Sometimes... Sometimes

I'm so happy, it's amazing.

And other times, though,

I just... I-l...

I can't get out of bed.

I thought you were just tired.

Well, that too.

Mom, are you okay?

Honey, I love your dad.

- Oh, I know.

- I do.

I don't want you to think

that I...

It's just life.

Hm.

Did you know our dream

was that he was gonna get

his Ph.D. in music

and teach at Columbia

so I could audition in New York?

And then Grandpa got sick,

so we stayed to help

and then had the twins and you.

So Dad just temporarily

started teaching music here.

And then Pam's accident

and Jimmy's hair...
