It felt warm this morning although it's only 13 degrees. After a week of below zero temperatures, everything is relative. I forced myself to Zumba this morning. It's that moment between waking up and putting on my shoes that is tough for me. Once I'm downstairs and start my DVD I feel fantastic.

My shower and getting ready took longer than I wanted. I made a Carl's JR run for a couple of breakfast sandwiches even though I was running late because my lunch relief person probably isn't going to show up until 2:45.

Bro. Salmond is awesome as always. His excitement is infectious. He mentioned that he doesn't teach during the summer. I'm going to miss my weekly dose of him. Our RS presidency meeting was nice last night although I drove back and forth between my house and Providence which isn't far, just irritating when it's freezing and it was last night.

I love Melissa's spirit. She shared the thought and said the closing prayer. The spirit was with her. I always want to be like that. I don't think she's an RM, BUT she had the spirit with her and I appreciate that she brought it with her to our meeting. I need to tell her that.

Erin is sweet. People are funny with me. Since Melissa gave the thought Erin decided to NOT ask me to do it because she said she didn't want to scare me off. She just doesn't know me yet I'M NOOOT SHY and I'm alright with doing things. Actually I've done a lot of things. The menial tasks of NOT a secretary BUT the assistant secretary are things I ONLY do for church. It is important, I don't doubt that and I'm NOT questioning that. It IS fun to be part of the RS leadership like this. I've only ever been RS president although I was an RS teacher twice. Let's see Gospel Doctrine teacher 4x, RS 2x, President 1x. I taught seminary in Hawaii. Right-I was a family history person once. Of course I taught primary 2x. I thought I would die there. This wonderful ward is the ward of my make-up callings-Fhe group leader, blood drive coordinator, assistant RS secretary.

I enjoyed my first calling. Matt was awesome!!!-Exactly how I wanted an fhe partner to be. Blood drive coordinator was fine-all I did was fill the paper out every few months when they remembered to give it to me. This calling will be the most demanding but also spiritually rewarding. We have a presidency meeting every other week and visit specific sisters every other week. Visiting will be a good way for me to get to know more people in my ward.
