What makes you think you have a mission from God?
I built a catapult https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZP_LSJCdlgc to launch rockets, and used a purple oring to secure the fins. Then I tested positive for COVID in the Artic Circle, where I quarantined for several days. My airplane seat going home was on an exit row. When I went to sit down, I noticed a little purple hair band that matched my purple circle, as I've come to call it. Sorta similar to seeing CHRIST and CRIST patterns for March 8 and 18 respectively. Maybe like, Parker is a friend of the friend of God on CBS God Friended Me.
That's your video? It doesn't look like it was taken in the Ar[c]tic Circle. Could you show us a video of your rocket launching from the Ar[c]tic Circle?

Artic circle is what I often call Kotzebue, because it's the gateway to the Arctic Circle.

The foregoing is an alternate explanation. Good thing you were paying attention.

Would you like a free audiobook for being so observant?

Maybe later this year I'll visit there again.

Oh. So, is that you launching a rocket at a friend's home in Kotzebue? I have family living in Alaska, that full backyard of green grass must be the envy of every household in the area. Was radiant heat installed underneath? Of course that's tough to do, and of course altering permafrost surfaces is no joke, it must have cost a pretty penny!

Anyway, back to the topic at hand, what kind of rockets were you launching in that video that required O rings?

A moment of curiosity, I traveled via google maps to this Kotzebue. It is very clear that this rocket launch happend someplace far from that location. Perhaps there is an artic circle hamburger outlet down the street.

First Launch happened in AK, but not the Arctic Circle. :mrgreen:

Seeing two objects that are the same color does not mean you have a mission from God.

High Spy,

Forgive me if I'm not following you and please correct any errors.

This thread began with you announcing you're dressed in Sunday clothes but not going to church. If I'm understanding everything since your initial post, then on Sundays (at least), you put on your church clothes and then go into your backyard and work on a catapult that slings toy rockets into the air? God has called you to do this.

I don't know the mind of God, High Spy. However, don't you think God would rather have you come to church and partake of the sacrament? And then afterwards, do your home teaching and study the doctrines of faith, repentance from the scriptures and the approved teaching manuals for this year? Wouldn't your obedience become an invitation to the Spirit, who could then quicken your understanding as you pursue the catapult during the week?

I can't say that you're wrong, but, I recall Neal A. Maxwell speaking about "gospel hobbies" some time ago, and it just feels to me like you're trying to sweep fun and games under the rubric of proper devotion. Why even put on the white shirt? Why can't God have you wear something more comfortable for catapult building? Why can't other members worship by riding their mountain bikes on Sunday instead of going to Church? Why not everyone just do what they want and say it's serving the Lord?

I used to like the fries at the Artic Circle and their lime rickeys were great on summer days. I think they invented Fry Sauce which should give them a significant number and perhaps a rock formation outline.

North to Alaska, somewhere north of Nome!

Where a Monks habitat. Then walk into church.
Only at a private university in Utah would they take you off the continent and into another hemisphere to look for Book of Mormon artifacts; they even give tours. Here’s a hint: start your archeological dig in Upstate New York.
