Ward missionary!!!

This is the first time I've ever received a calling I would choose if I could. I received a phone call early to meet with someone at 11:45. Bro. Henry said Trevor is getting married so he'll be released soon. It'll be interesting to see who the new mission leader turns out to be. I didn't think about my new calling during Sunday School. My tithing was still on my bulletin board and I already went a week without paying it. I couldn't afford another one. 


I came home right after sacrament meeting to pick up my tithing. Hottie Myrick sat in front of me during sacrament meeting. He dresses well and I appreciate that. His shoes were perfect and he had a nice light brown pin-striped suit.  Rich dresses well too. Why is that so rare? My brother doesn't dress well. When we were growing up I'd always buy him clothes and try to get him to dress like I wanted him to dress. I do love my brother however and I know how great he is as well. It should make me more lenient about the clothes thing. My friend Colton dressed well. What is my problem? It is the least important thing ANY guy can do BUT I still love it. 

Why do I still care about superficial things? Last week before Sunday school Robert Hansen talked to me a lot. He did the same thing the previous Sunday. He didn't do anything really out of the ordinary, just out of the ordinary for him. He is very intelligent and knows his scriptures and church history well BUT he is like Ryan to me. He is amazing BUUUT I am not attracted to him at ALL and if he ever asked me out I'd say no. Of course it would take a lot for him to ever do that. He probably isn't interested at all BUUUT I am still glad I'll be attending gospel essentials now. Late for Sunday School because of my tithing I went to Gospel Doctrine. Later I thought of how I'm a ward missionary now meaning I need to attend gospel essentials. It actually makes me feel good because it is the perfect reason for me not to attend gospel doctrine. 

Mosiah 29
 Behold, O ye my people, or my brethren, for I esteem you as such, I desire that ye should consider the cause which ye are called to consider—for ye are desirous to have a king.
I like how it says, "...my brethren, for I esteem you as such,". 
10 And now let us be wise and look forward to these things, and do that which will make for the peace of this people.
20 But behold, he did deliver them because they did humblethemselves before him; and because they cried mightily unto him he did deliver them out of bondage; and thus doth the Lord work with his power in all cases among the children of men, extending the arm of mercy towards them that put their trust in him.
27 And if the time comes that the voice of the people doth choose iniquity, then is the time that the judgments of God will come upon you; yea, then is the time he will visit you with great destruction even as he has hitherto visited this land.

I think that time is now. 

Hastening the Lord's Game Plan! - S. Gifford Nielson
Have we been listening?
Since we are all on the Lord’s team, do we each have our own winning game plan? Are we ready to play? If we, as members, really loved ourfamily, friends, and associates, wouldn’t we want to share our testimony of the restored gospel with them?

I still find something wrong with everyone. I told Krista how hot I thought Myrick was BUT that he has a teenage son and a gorgeous girlfriend. 

Even though Erin seems very happy with Roger I still don't want someone with children. I think you can make a marriage work with anyone and when someone's divorced, although I don't know if Myrick was ever married, I judge them and think they didn't work hard enough at it. I know that's extremely presumptuous of me. I was never married so why am I making these sweeping judgments.
