Nov. 28

Nov. 28: Tonight I went to a gingerbread house making activity with Nathaniel. A lot of our friends were there as well. Nathaniel bought tickets to go see Divine Comedy this Friday, but instead we decided to go Saturday and go on my ward date trip on Friday. So we were trying to find people to sell his tickets to. He was selling them for $10. One girl kept trying to haggle him and get them for $7. She was very persuasive and stubborn. Nathaniel really only wanted to sell them for $10 because that's how much he bought them for and he didn't want to lose any money.
When he was away for a few minutes, she tried convincing me to convince Nathaniel to sell the tickets to her for cheaper. I knew that I probably could convince him after a while. I was being persuaded by her. Then I remembered that it was important to Nathaniel that he sold them for full price because he didn't want to lose any money. I had to be honest with her and tell her that I couldn't do that. By doing so, I was being honest to Nathaniel as well, and helping him with his endeavors. I wasn't being deceitful and I was acting with integrity. She ended up respecting his wishes as well and buying them for $10.
