I did Zumba this morning. Why is it so difficult for me to go to sleep? I know that's why it's hard for me to get up in the morning. I should be able to do everything I want to do tonight. I spent about $5 at McDonalds this morning. Such a waste of money. If I just woke up in time I could've made myself an omlette OR my own breakfast sandwich that tastes better at a fraction of the cost. I got the breakfast combo which means I drank Diet Coke this morning. I don't NEED it anymore. That is sooo nice!!! I can just drink water. People are lauding coconut water now for its health benefits. I looove that stuff. These little boys in Tonga would sell husked coconuts for .10 and my dad would buy a bunch and stick it in the fridge. There is NOTHING better than fresh chilled coconut water-delicious!!! One of the holes in the face of a coconut is soft. Stick a straw in this natural seemingly straw-made hole and you are good to go!

One of the students here was sooo stoked to find out I watch Korean dramas because she hasn't found anyone who likes that stuff. She's going to download some dramas for me. I don't think they'll fit on the flashdrive I gave her. I may have to get another one AND I have one at home. I may just buy one especially for that purpose.

The weather is NICE!!! I need to figure out a place to skate where I won't be bothered AND with walls or a bar nearby for my sense of security. Now I wish I had wood floors in my townhouse then I could skate in my living room and build up my strength without going anywhere. Eventually I do want to skate outside on the sidewalks surrounding my apartment. I never see anyone on them so that's a good place to skate.

I need a helmut and wrist pads. I fell a lot as a kid and I don't remember needing padding. I did however have a head injury before so it's just wise. I wonder how smooth and clutter free the parking lot near the park is. They are moving the farmer's market to Willow Park right near where I live. With my juicer fresh vegetables and fruits are even more important. I'm supposed to drink the juice right away however or lose the health benefits. I need to check out a book on juicing at the library too.

I went to the Overstock outlet store in Sandy. Nice quality stuff for amazing prices.

Mosiah 21

34 Therefore they did not at that time form themselves into a church, waiting upon the Spirit of the Lord. Now they were desirous to become even as Alma and his brethren, who had fled into the wilderness.


35 They were desirous to be baptized as a witness and a testimony that they were willing to serve God with all their hearts; nevertheless they did prolong the time; and an account of their baptism shall be agiven hereafter.

Timing is truly everything. The people of Limhi want to form a church but do not because they don't feel it is time yet. In verse 35 they "prolong the time"-I want everything now or yesterday. This may not be what my father in heaven wants.

The Atonement-President Boyd K. Packer

While this talk is about the atonement, the first story related by Elder Packer about how a couple of missionaries fell asleep and failed to light the way through dangerous rocks surrounding an island in Samoa makes me remember all the comments by Samoan friends who talked about who the Elders must be who fell asleep.

Jesus Christ does light the way for us. He is the model for us to emulate. Not just by following his example, he has paid the price for ALL of our imperfections and through this gift we too can find perfection.
