Yesterday Judy came to work early on her own and I was able to attend the Cache Valley Library Association meeting held at the Richmond Public Library on time. Juliene Parrish, the director, showed us how to drill and then sew books together when they are falling apart. Attendance was awesome and the director of the Family Search Library (the NEW name!!!) attended. I've tried sooo many times to get them involved in CVLA. He said he received an email about it and was happy to attend. I CAN'T believe NO ONE has ever given him the word!!!

A photographer from the Herald Journal attended. His name is Eli. I recognized him from my internship. When I mentioned it to him he said he recognized me right away and asked me if I was there 8-9 years ago. NOOO!!! TRY 2 1/2 years ago when I first moved to Logan!!! Pam is awesome!!! She has supported CVLA from the beginning and is one of our members-at-large. She knows how to work a room. So do I. I like her because she is outgoing and friendly. These are characteristics unfortunately that many librarians DO NOT have. Professionally it is what is the most fun for me, meeting new people and learning about what they do. She is the engineering librarian at USU. I asked her if she knew David awhile ago but she told me she works with all engineers BUT the electrical engineers.

It is so incredible to see something I created take off and become the organization it has become. I will ALWAYS be pleased with this!!! CVLA and getting my MBA have made Logan worth it!!!

Helaman 7
8 Yea, if my days could have been in those days, then would my soul have had joy in the righteousness of my brethren.

9 But behold, I am consigned that these are my days, and that my soul shall be filled with sorrow because of this the wickedness of my brethren.
SERIOUSLY Nephi-this is what I typically remember-the people in general being wicked and Nephi praying and lamenting the state of the wicked at the top of his lungs on a tower in his garden and a multitude of people gathering and surprising him when he is done. Yes this is sad BUT what about all the miracles in chapter 5???!!! Converting 8000 Lamanites is no small task. Angelic ministers, being surrounded by fire but NOT burnt, left protected and untouched. After having so much success it must have been so difficult for Nephi to witness the fall of his people into wickedness. At least the Lamanite people remained faithful to the truth they had received through Nephi and Lehi. He wishes he were born at another time. I doubt he would've traded those miraculous experiences in chapter 5 even if he was rejected before he returned to Zarahemla discouraged.

The Caregiver - Henry B. Eyring General RS Meeting
With all your differences in personal circumstances and past experiences, I can tell you something of what lies ahead for you. As you keep the faith, you will find yourself invited by the Lord often to serve someone in need when it will not seem convenient. It may appear to be an unpleasant and perhaps even impossible task. When the call comes, it may seem you are not needed or that someone else could easily give the succor.


Since this talk is recorded in the Ensign Conference Issue AND is online with the other conference talks I felt it was appropriate to read. It is a talk about service. It's only after reading that conference talk that I've thought about how we need to pray for and be aware of opportunities to give service daily. What a blessing that is!!! Yesterday after my CVLA meeting my uncle Laie came over after his rugby game. I prayed whether I should cook for him or clean my kitchen. I felt I should clean my kitchen so I did.

Jodie messaged me about meeting some other girls in the ward at Juniper restaurant for dinner and to just hang out at 6:30 because I was teasing them about not inviting me-BUT we have 2 relief society visits set up. I agreed to do the 7:30 appointment with Kristen Sylvester and Friday at the same time with Kayleen Rich. I feel like I can do these. Michelle Hinks is at 6:30 but I really don't want to drive straight over there after my 10-hour work day. I want to at least eat something first, breathe a moment.
