For some reason I set my alarm for 5:40 when I was supposed to set it for 4:30 so I could be ready to go at 5:30. I am going to do an evening session of Zumba in addition to the morning and watch my eating again starting now. I sweat a lot faster now. I'm sure that's a sign of getting fit. It better be!!! I did make it for the bulk of Zumba and I'm not going to be late tomorrow. I wasn't sleepy. I was awake and I kept trying to go back to sleep because I thought I needed it. I'm still feeling so excited about Nata now. I just can't wait for her to rock it out there. I am going to make sure she is the best dressed sister out there. I'm making sure she has EVERYTHING she needs plus more.

Nata worked so hard to pay for her dental work. I can't imagine working fulltime at a swing shift and then working the graveyard shift a few hours later. I feel like such a spoiled brat when I think about it. I am pretty sure Sione is not planning on playing basketball because he wants to help his family save money and he knows they'll need it with Nata on her mission. Sione turns 16 next month so in a couple years he will be going on his mission right after Nata just gets back.

Tatiana and Toa will leave about the same time because Tatiana has to be 19 first. Then the babies as in Isa, Ochi, Maria and finally Sammy. I want George's family to totally be a missionary family. George really wants his boys to go. He hasn't really talked to his girls about serving a mission. Nata is completely responsible for her decision. If anything George has put up opposition to his girls serving. I am so happy Nata has the type of personality that makes her fight for what she wants.

I was so grateful to go on my mission and I know my father was very happy for me to go too. His family has a history of girls going on their missions so he totally wanted me to serve mine. I'm not sure why George feels that way. Probably because he has 9 children. Nata will be such an incredible influence for good on her family. I am so proud of her. I want her to be super-missionary. It's probably a good thing I don't live near her I'd be all about the mission prep.

I need to rev up the fitness thing. While I have gone to Zumba every M-F that I've been back, I've also kept eating all these foods I felt deprived of eating since I was living on the farm. I'd like to start roller skating again and begin weight training tonight. I am also going to watch everything I put in my mouth again.

Mosiah 2
8 And it came to pass that he began to speak to his people from the tower; and they could not all hear his words because of the greatness of the multitude; therefore he caused that the words which he spake should be written and sent forth among those that were not under the sound of his voice, that they might also receive his words.
I love how this is so general conference-like. The Ensign just copied this idea and now we can watch video freely online.
