My Christmas gift from our company CEO arrived today. MAJOR FAIL!!! Most of his schools are in Utah and Idaho. There are a couple in California, 2 in Arizona and 2 in Colorado. Alright maybe they will be pleased. The Corporate offices are in Salt Lake City. There is a significant amount of LDS members. I think only my friend Katie isn't LDS in the entire school here in Logan which admittedly is expected to have a high LDS percentage, BUT I doubt it'll be too different in Ogden, Salt Lake, Orem, Layton, St. George and Idaho Falls although Nampa and Boise probably won't have too much to worry about. I just know I'm taking this to Walmart to return it. It says it can also make hot chocolate, NOOO NOT what a diabetic needs or sure. I should've returned my nook last year too. I've used it once the first week I got it then the novelty wore off as soon as the next week.

At least I can get store credit this way. I'm going to try Kohls first then Kmart followed by Walmart. I need to go to my bank anyway so why the heck not. I need to pay my car insurance.

Jacob 4
13 Behold, my brethren, he that prophesieth, let him prophesy to the understanding of men; for the ^aSpirit speaketh the ^btruth and lieth not. Wherefore, it speaketh of things as they really ^care, and of things as they really will be; wherefore, these things are manifested unto us ^dplainly, for the salvation of our souls. But behold, we are not witnesses alone in these things; for God also^espake them unto prophets of old.

Put Your Trust in the Lord - Russel M. Ballard
These opportunities will never require a forced or a contrived response. They will flow as a natural result of our love for our brothers and sisters. Just be positive, and those whom you speak with will feel your love. They will never forget that feeling, though the timing may not be right for them to embrace the gospel. That too may change in the future when their circumstances change.
The key is that you be inspired of God, that you ask Him for direction and then go and do as the Spirit prompts you. When members view the work of salvation as their responsibility alone, it can be intimidating. When they view it as an invitation to follow the Lord in bringing souls unto Him to be taught by the full-time elders and sisters, it is inspiring, invigorating, and uplifting.

Porter said we meet each Sunday at 12:20 to go over who will attend different appointments in the ward. We also take turns teaching gospel principles. I need to prepare to teach lesson 11 on the life of Christ. This isn't until February so I have plenty of time to prepare for that. 

It is nice to feel normal mentally and not like I want to slam someone. Of course I would never do that... at least not physically. I didn't like all that anger I felt yesterday. That was just yucky. I'm so glad that is a normal response to hormone fluctuations but it is still scary. I am grateful we have the internet and information at our fingertips on demand. I love that whenever I wonder something I can usually find out pretty quickly.

Yesterday was my heavy flow day. I'm sooo glad that's over. It is physically draining. Yesterday it was also emotionally draining. I didn't do Zumba this morning either but I got to bed late and that is not good physically for me to do that to myself. I am so grateful for organic chocolate. It is the best!!! So is whipped berry cream cheese!!!
