Busy Sunday

I finished polishing my lesson this morning and then I fine-tuned the last stuff during the first sacrament meeting talk. We went and visited Laura too this morning. My lesson went well. I guess I had to share my skating experience with my sisters because that's when the spirit was the best. It was fun but I like my calling now because it's something different. I've been an RS teacher 4x, Gospel Doctrine 3x, RS president and now I'm the RS assistant secretary which is fun, different AND easy!!!-busy work but I do actually feel like I'm making a difference. The presidency is fun and I'm glad I had the chance to get to know them better. I also like the chance going on visits has been. It's fun to get to know the sisters in my relief society.

My friend's back and I did go out of my way to say hello and talk to him for a few minutes. He went to his sister's house for Spring Break. His tone is really nice. He needs to perform more where his voice gets showcased because he has the chops. If I had them you wouldn't get me to shut up. I hope I can develop them in time. Jenny UHarriet is the best person I've tried to follow along. She can look at the music and know immediately what to sound like. Amanda and Jen kept going off. I haven't seen Amanda in about a month. I hope she's alright. I want she and Ryan Reeder to hook up. I like them both and I think they'd be good together. The other Jen-Yes we have 3 Jens in choir!!! sings softly so I can't really follow her. This new Jenny sings well.

I think my friend is doing an internship in SLC or something. YES I was eavesdropping. I saw Gena Packer who is the other sister we visit teach while I was in choir. She just came after work hoping to catch us because she knew we wanted to visit her. I gave her the message by myself in the foyer then went back to sing. SWEET!!! We ARE DONE for March!!!

Our entire ward is having fhe at 6:30 at the Logan Library. We are ALL attending their movie night. I'll try to get there early so I can see Robert and Joseph and get my free books for my library. Listening to my friend talk to this other guy in choir who seems to be moving to SLC too was good. I like what he said to him. This other guy is just quiet. I don't feel like he has the testimony he needs to have. He's bland to me. I hope my friend likes SLC. There's just so much more there to enjoy. He's lucky he gets to leave the farm. I wonder how long he'll be gone. I don't want him to leave. I like seeing him at church and at our activities. I'd love to see him more than that BUT that's for him to take the initiative and if he doesn't that's his decision. I'll do what I can up to a point. As long as I do what I feel like I should, everything will be fine whatever happens or doesn't.

Mosiah 26

37 And it came to pass that Alma did regulate all the affairs of the church; and they began again to have peace and to prosper exceedingly in the affairs of the church, walking circumspectly before God, receiving many, and baptizing many.
38 And now all these things did Alma and his fellow laborers do who were over the church, walking in all diligence, teaching the word of God in all things, suffering all manner of afflictions, being persecuted by all those who did not belong to the church of God.
39 And they did admonish their brethren; and they were also admonished, every one by the word of God, according to his sins, or to the sins which he had committed, being commanded of God to pray without ceasing, and to give thanks in all things.

My favorite thing about my friend is that from everything I've observed he does walk circumspectly before God. I hope he never changes that ever because even with his shortcomings that is like a rock AND it is the most important. 

Come Unto Me O Ye House of Israel-Larry Echo Hawk

I read this on my phone this morning after reading Mosiah. I keep spelling Mosiah wrong because the Tongan spelling is Mosaia and my nephew is named Mosaia although we call him Mosa.

I especially ask the remnant of the house of Israel, the descendants of the people of the Book of Mormon, wherever you may be, to read and reread the Book of Mormon. Learn of the promises contained in the Book of Mormon. Follow the teachings and example of Jesus Christ. Make and keep covenants with the Lord. Seek for and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

I looove the Book of Mormon. I like that I am a direct descendant of the Book of Mormon people. I like all the advice Hawk gave especially the ending or seek for and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
