Whats Up Provo
August 21, 2024
What’s Up Provo!🤙
Some mental health experts claim that Wednesday is the most important day of the week for your mental health. The reason being it is an important day to regroup and recharge. 💆♀️
So on this Wednesday, take a look at the events happening around Provo—hopefully you can find one that will help you/your family recharge as we head into the second half of the week.
Main events happening today in and around Provo:
Ono’s Malasadas
Ono’s BBQ Burger & Ono’s Kaluha Burger
OUR STORY
While on their annual vacation to the Hawaiian Islands, Sophia Bussio and her family discovered Malasadas, a Portuguese fried sweet dough, a food staple in Hawaii.
Sophia and her family saw the opportunity to bring the malasada magic to Provo. Excited to embrace the opportunity, the Bussios dove headfirst into the world of fried dough, later naming their new company “Ono’s Malasadas.”
OUR NAME
The name, a fusion of Hawaiian and Portuguese, encapsulates what a malasada truly is. “Ono” in Hawaiian means “delicious,” while in Portuguese, “Malasadas” translates to “bad dough” — a contradiction that perfectly describes the treat.

YESTERDAY BYU Devotional: Elder Neil L. Andersen
An excerpt from Elder Neil L. Andersen’s BYU Devotional entitled Educating our Righteous Desires:
“The theme for this year's education week comes from Romans chapter 12: "Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind." My subject today addresses one of the deepest parts of renewal: the educating of our righteous desires.
For years, I've been intrigued by a statement President Joseph F. Smith made more than 100 years ago:
[The] education… of our desires is one of far-reaching importance to our happiness in life.
The education of our desires—not the learning of a skill, not information inserted into the mind—the education of our desires.
Consider for a moment: What are your most deeply held righteous desires? Consider how you are educating your righteous desires…
“When I was in high school, I memorized a poem that has remained in my mind for more than 55 years. The author, James Allen, wrote these words more than 100 years ago. Let's see if I can still say it without looking at the teleprompter:
My mind is the master power that molds and makes,
Man is mind, and ever more he takes
The tool of thought, and shaping what he wills,
Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills.
He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass,
Environment is but his looking glass.
Simple story about friendliness
“Working all by oneself in a closed-off room in an office not only is lonely, but it denies one the opportunity of making friends with other employees in the company.
Señora Maria Gonzalez of Guadalajara, Mexico, had such a job. She envied the shared comradeship of other people in the company as she heard their chatter and laughter. As she passed them in the hall during the first weeks of her employment, she shyly looked the other way.
After a few weeks, she said to herself, “Maria, you can’t expect those women to come to you. You have to go out and meet them.” The next time she walked to the water cooler, she put on her brightest smile and said, “Hi, how are you today” to each of the people she met.
The effect was immediate. Smiles and hellos were returned, the hallway seemed brighter, the job friendlier. Acquaintanceships developed and some ripened into friendships. Her job and her life became more pleasant and interesting.”
-Dale Carnegie (How to Win Friends and Influence People)
Words To Remember
“Here is the way the psychologist and philosopher William James put it:
‘Action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not.’
…if our cheerfulness be lost…sit up cheerfully and to act and speak as if cheerfulness were already there. . . .”
Take it easy Provo!
