Fridays R the BEST!!!

Last night was even better because Laie DIDN'T come over!!! It felt so nice to lie down on my OWN loveseat. He was too comfortable in my house. I thought I liked that, NOOO I didn't. I NEVER laid down if he was here. I WAS NOT comfortable in my own home when he visited. He could relax while I WOULD NOT!!!

The last time he was here I tried to take my contacts out and fall asleep with him downstairs and I COULDN'T that's when I had enough courage, thanks to more prayers, to tell him I agreed with my family and that I don't think he'd like that if one of his cousins did that to his daughter. My cousin Taia asked me what he said when I told him that. I told her he didn't say anything. She said he was probably embarrassed.

If that's what it took to get him to stop coming over here by himself, embarrassment was a necessary thing. NONE of my other Tongan male cousins would EVER try to set me up either. That's what Tongan aunts do a lot of NOT Tongan male relatives. You don't even hold hands in front of your Tongan male relatives. It's all about respect.

The only people I want that comfortable around me are my brother and dad. My husband will be fine too AFTER we're married.

2 Nephi 15

25 Therefore, is the aanger of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them; and the hills did tremble, and their carcasses were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
My friends the Molenis quote this scripture in one of their church songs. So many beautiful AND terrible but graphic detailed images. Anger of the Lord is kindled, the hills tremble, he hath smitten them, carcasses are torn BUT His hand is stretched out still.

Your Sacred Duty to Minister - David L. Beck

There are thousands of Chy Johnsons throughout the world—people who need to feel Heavenly Father’s love. They are in your schools, in your quorums, and even in your family. Some come to mind quickly. Others have needs that are less obvious. Virtually everyone you know could be blessed in some way by your ministering. The Lord is counting on you to reach out to them.
This makes me think of my friend Jen and how I haven't been a very good friend to her lately. She is kind and I need to remember that and NOT get irritated by her OR ignore my irritation. I may not hold the priesthood ALTHOUGH I do plan to hold my husband who holds the priesthood A LOT!!! Today's a busy day IN THE EVENING - Melissa's farewell party is tonight. I hope she has fun. I hope a lot of people come not just to try the Mongolian BBQ but also to say bye to her. I'm going to make sure I have my camera too and take a lot of pictures. I should probably get her a cake too. I wonder if HuHot is alright with that. I'll stop by early and find out.
