I had a great time with my nieces and nephews. I looove them sooo much. I'm so happy George has such a big gorgeous family. Saturday morning Alisa taught a Zumba class then she returned to get ready for their drive to Denver. Alisa's arms are amazing. They are all cut. I made her flex. She looks great. She went to Denver to certify in Zumba zatao-some zumba version that uses a chair with a variety of exercises. As I sit here munching on left-over oreos and New Zealand chocolate, I can't wait to become an instructor too. Zumba is fun and I'm glad I have my sister-in-law as such an awesome example for me to follow.
Nata works at Sonic. I didn't realize their workers skate to the cars with the orders. It is so cute. I remember REALLY wanting to do that after I saw some movie with skating order-takers/pseudo-waitresses. I tried to get pictures of her on her skates but she covered her face and ran away and hid. She ONLY let me take pictures AFTER she curled her hair and made sure her make-up looked alright. It sounds like something I'd do so I didn't torture her too much. We both then went to take pictures of Noelani at work.
I had fun with all the kids as did my mom. She was on cloud 9 to be hanging out with them. We both don't get to see them as much as we'd like to see them. I went to the playground with them where they played for about 3-hours after which we got shave ice and then went back home. I miss the constant hugs and kisses they give me.
My dad's greatest joy were his grandkids and he could play with them all day every day. It's not hard to see why.
Since I had to be back today for work tomorrow I knew I needed to get back to the farm in time for church. I left Provo at 9am and arrived in Logan at 11am. I didn't stop anywhere. Church was alright although I was TIRED. A lady convert was one of the speakers. I think her name is Michelle. I enjoyed her talk a lot.
We had a bishop's fireside tonight. David was practicing the piano when I got there-so I went to talk to him. Of course as I continued to chat with him at the front I realized a LARGE portion of my ward was seated watching me talk to David. I DID NOT ENJOY THIS REALIZATION. After TRYING to get David to play other songs he wouldn't play ANYTHING I suggested so I gave up and went to talk to a girl Jonny and I were just assigned to visit. He did attempt to play Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor AFTER I left. I didn't hear much of it. I wish I could play anything.
Fhe is a "hike" or the Riverwalk. Tiffany took me on that walk. It is gorgeous!!! When my nieces were here to see my cousin Noke who coaches at UH when they demolished USU-I made them read scriptures with me pray and then go on that walk. It doesn't take very long but my wimpy nieces kept wanting to turn back. The scenery there is just incredible. We're supposed to do that then go for ice-cream. I can do that type of hike just fine. It's at 6:30pm which is nice since I won't have to leave work early although I will have to change at lunch-time again.
David went on his mission at 24. Major revelation there. I remember hearing something about him not being valiant for a time but somehow I missed that. Howard W. Hunter didn't serve a mission at all. I'm not sure how David kept the law of chastity as well as he did when he was still figuring stuff out. I want to ask him what kept him from exploring EVERYTHING when he wasn't living the gospel fully. I know my testimony is the only thing that has made me make the choices I have. If I didn't always know the gospel was true and what that meant I would've done EVERYTHING. Drugs, alcohol, sex-I don't know why people without the gospel refrain from anything. Would the light of Christ lead me away from those things?
I've always had a testimony. I've continued to learn but I've never doubted that. At our bishop's fireside we had another self-esteem pep talk. I don't know why self-esteem and confidence have never been a problem for me. I know I'm gorgeous, brilliant, and spiritual. I don't think I'm perfect and like bishop I know I can improve. If anything I need to constantly work to be humble. I know I tend to think I'm right all the time AND I usually am.
Bishop talked about how exact obedience implies IMMEDIATE obedience. That gave me a guilt trip although bishop also spoke about how the adversary gives us guilt. Sooo I made sure I went out of my way to talk to David and continue to talk to him tonight. It was tough though because I kept seeing people I either needed to talk to or who weren't talking to anyone which made me feel like I should talk to them. I talked to this DR guy who walks strange but is very sweet. When we had country dancing I asked him why he wasn't out there dancing and he said because I already had a partner-very smooth-although I didn't want to lead him on so after talking to him for a few minutes I got out of there.
I talked to Karen who is very sweet too. She just always latches on to me at any of our ward functions which I don't like. I don't like friends that are too clingy.
Jared was there and I avoided him and refused to acknowledge his existance sooo all-in-all any crises were averted. There were a couple of new girls David was talking to. I forgot their names already. I'm going to get him to text me their names so I can say hello nicely. ALL of David's fans were there. It's inevitable that he have some BUT it doesn't mean I have to like it. David asked me if people try to set me up all the time. YES when I was a missionary and YES Poly peeps ALL the time BUT he forgot that I'm not white. Most people aren't too thrilled with my education. My Tongan friend once told me not to get a Master's degree because it would act as a repellant to men. Actually several prophets have told women to get as much education as they can. If any guy has a problem with that he's not someone I'd be interested in anyway. White families never view me as spiritual. They assume things without bothering to find out. I'm o.k. with that. When I was a missionary sooo many members tried to set me up with their sons. This is only because they were able to get to know my testimony in church or from attending discussions with me.
I know what my future holds and I've known that since I was 14. I know David knows what he'll ultimately do with his life too. I wonder how long he's known that.
I'm very glad we're friends. He's fun, sweet, brilliant and spiritual. He's certainly not perfect but I really like that he actually strives for perfection.
