Today's post is an update. To start off, I have been keeping up with my goal, even though it has only been a week. I missed one or two nights but thats pretty good for me not reading or praying everynight.
Next.
I havn't been as stressed, but I still am, even though I may not act like it. There are manyy things in my life that stress me out, you can probably never find me not stressed. Finals are in about three weeks. Joy. There not that bad, but long and tons of studying to do. For the last three sets of finals, I just decided it would be best for me to study for all of my classes on monday (week of), tuesday for the classes that I have a test on Wednesday, Wednesday for Thursdays test. That has worked out pretty great for me. But even though that works, I am already stressed. That is not such a big stress right now compared to my other stresses which will remained untold about.
This weekend I had a great chance to hear an Aposel speak. I learned many things. I didn't know what he would chose to talk about, and I thought it would be a talk. But instead he surpised me with telling us he is going to answer our prepared questions with the help of his Compainion. He taught us many things, and I found different ways to look at things. One of the topics he talked about was your body is a temple. I knew it was, but didn't look at it that way. He told us not to put tattos on, would we do that to the portland temple? No and the Lord would not dwell in an unlcean temple. Brother Oaks taught us alot, and I thought I would just share that little piece with you, if you want to know what else, just ask!
Finally,
About a week ago, one of my leaders had told me to serve others. I have been doing a lot of that. I went to the Football game on Friday to help my friend and her parents set up the booster club(where they sell Aloha gear). They told us to go meet her Grandma at the gate. As we were walking over, the conession stand people drove up and asked us for help because it was susposed to be up and running in 30 minutes, and they were low on help. We thought, okay they need probably 15 minutes of help. So we were helping them, and realized that we had to help the hole football game. At the moment I was kinda bummed because it was the last game. But after I realized I was doing a great service project. So I am working hard to get more survice in and at least do it once a week if possible. Well I am covered for the last couple of weeks, and this week!! Survice is fun, don't get me wrong!!!
Thats it!
