Ate an entire pizza

I went to our FHE last night. It didn't look like the cricket game I remember playing. First there was no cricket bat, just a regular baseball bat. Next, there were 3 soda cans NOT the MUCH taller stick configuration I remember. People also hit the ball like baseball. I remember the ball being hit lower BUUUT I only played cricket once so it was probably played correctly in everything else.

I saw Jon my mission leader there holding hands with Jamie Drake!!! Hallelujah!!! He made my skin crawl every time he'd touch my shoulders. Creepy irritating man who I am glad found someone who I don't know very well BUUUT is definitely the type he should have checked out to begin with because hell isn't freezing over any time soon for me to give him the damn time of day. I ONLY ever talked to him because he was my mission leader HOWEVER... he hasn't done a damn thing since the day he got the hell on my nerves by his constant attention at that barn party in Millville. I was kind BUUUT I had to leave to get the hell away from him which is what I did. I hope this works out well for him and her and that they continue to find happiness together.

I was hungry and I had made myself shrimp tempura and vegetable tempura at lunch so I didn't feel like cooking for dinner so I bought a pizza at Little Ceasars. I ate the entire thing. I can't believe I did that BUT I was hungry then I fell asleep on the couch until I woke up at around 3am and could take out my contacts, wash my face and jump into bed.

My visiting teachers are coming over tonight. I am going to try to get them to take as much furniture I'm not keeping as possible when they visit AND see if they want my couch and bed. They will have to get that on the 4th however because I will need that stuff until then. My friend Lori here at work is taking my banquet table. If she doesn't take it by the 4th I'll give it to Jeff who I haven't called yet just because I'm going to see if Sister Henrie and Monica want that stuff first tonight. That will be so great if they can take everything away tonight.

Nicki asked me when was my last day. She was in Stacey's office. I told her next Thursday then began a happy dance but I tried to temper that and I started to try to say something but then I told them I couldn't lie and I left. I am sooo excited to be leaving!!! There are many people I am sad not to see again BUUUT there are also people I am happy not to see again. Some, actually most, I am just neutral about.

Helaman 10

Blessed art thou, Nephi, for those things which thou hast done; for I have beheld how thou hast with unwearyingness declared the word, which I have given unto thee, unto this people. And thou hast not feared them, and hast not sought thine own life, but hast sought my will, and to keep my commandments.
 And now, because thou hast done this with such unwearyingness, behold, I will bless thee forever; and I will make thee mighty in word and in deed, in faith and in works; yea, even that all things shall be done unto thee according to thy word, for thou shalt not ask that which is contrary to my will.
 Behold, thou art Nephi, and I am God. Behold, I declare it unto thee in the presence of mine angels, that ye shall have power over this people, and shall smite the earth with famine, and with pestilence, and destruction, according to the wickedness of this people.
 Behold, I give unto you power, that whatsoever ye shall seal on earth shall be sealed in heaven; and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven; and thus shall ye have power among this people.
 And thus, if ye shall say unto this temple it shall be rent in twain, it shall be done.
What a beautiful blessing and given when Nephi really needed it. I especially love his blessing that all things would be done according to his word... and then the added because you aren't going to ask for anything contrary to the will of God. I want my Father in Heaven to have that kind of confidence in me. I guess we can all be that way and are that way as we always recognize and ask for God's will to be done so perhaps that is not as amazing as it first sounded to me. The entire blessing Nephi receives however is incredible. He already knows he will receive those things but to be reminded of this from a divine source is ALWAYS amazing.
