Wow! I've just realized a few things that I was confused about. I had an inkling yesterday but now things are falling into place. My father in heaven loves me very much. If I knew what I do now I would've done some things differently BUUUT I think my realization wasn't supposed to occur until when it did this morning.

Now I just make the best of things from this point. The spirit and the divine are active in my life and I am grateful to see how many times I'm led.

My first friend when I moved to Logan was so sweet, an RM even. It REALLY hurt when she decided to show her true colors to me. Now I just realized how shiesty 2 more RM women are. I thought when you were 31 you figured out how to treat others. Sobering. It's hard for me to believe people actually plot and scheme for stupid reasons AND somehow think it's fine. If you are trying to be a disciple of Christ it is NEVER fine. Women with the gospel should be beyond that. women over 30 should CERTAINLY be beyond that. BUUUT shiestiness persists.

I invited my non-member friend Katie who teaches business at Stevens-Henager College to our fondue party. I also invited a former student Eli to come. Katie is 28 so she should feel alright. Eli is 22. He always talks to me about how he doesn't do anything. He also talks about or rather criticizes the LDS beliefs but not in a disrespectful way. They both need the gospel in their lives. I hope they both join us. I have fun with them for different reasons.

I counted the guys in our group of over 30. There are just 7. Time for me to start recruiting men who aren't in our ward. I don't want to take someone away from a ward FHE. Unfortunately that leaves nonmembers. It's great to invite nonmembers to events but we need to be careful about attending their events. Include them in our group and influence them positively OR join their group and perhaps slowly lose your testimony. I want David to invite his engineer non-member friend that came last time. My friend Eli is Mexican. He could speak in Spanish to him. He would be a good influence. He's from some South American country. I don't remember which one.

I told my mother I was going to SLC to buy a Sari. She sent me all this annoying stuff with my absentee ballot about spending money wisely and that I shouldn't buy a Sari. ANNOYING. How can I love this lady yet be so ANNOYED with her???!!! I think I'll just go there Friday after having lunch at Elements with my visiting teachers. I'll hit up Sugarhouse which is near where this lady lives, get my Sari and stop at my favorite sushi place Tokai Sushi 4 U!!!-Before turning around and driving back to Logan for the rest of the conference.

Thursday is the conference temple night. Friday activities don't start until 6pm. Saturday is ALL day and Sunday ends with a fireside from Apostle Elder Cook. I need to get my mind and enthusiasm into the conference. I know it's what my father in heaven would have me do AND attend. Krista wants to go. When I told her maybe she told me I promised. She is so funny. I told her uh nooo I don't remember promising. She wants to go now but she doesn't want to attend the dance. Dances are my favorite thing in the world HOWEVER if this dance is ANYTHING like the one we went to I'm good with missing it too.
