7) The church opens thousands of church affiliated secondary schools in third world countries manned by a new missionary program where every stake sends out and supports three families at all times to work in the schools,

#3 would be very interesting to me because it includes the YW and its another opportunity for kids when they graduate to get great experience. Its basically making a lds peace corp. Including the YW would be such a refreshing change. Why do they get it so easy? Why aren't they expected to serve?

#7 I would love to do this for a couple of years while my kids are still young. Get to live in Brazil again but as a teacher. They could give you a small stipend after living expenses. It would be a nice sabattical.
