Report

My talk went well on Sunday... I guess. At least that's what I've been told. I talked about Spiritual Goals. I mainly focused on the goal of Eternal Life. Which would be the long term goal. I read 2 Nephi 31:20 and then broke down the verse speaking about each seperate phrase. For instance "feasting upon the word" I talked about Emily and how she likes to say, "don't just nibble... FEAST!" Which is ironic since I can remember how she used to "taste-test" foods. Anyway, I said that sometimes we "taste-test" the gospel and don't like a principle because it is to challenging for us or we don't want to change. I also talked about all the ways we can "feast" on the word.

Trina, yes, I did mention the BBC blog. I said that my sisters and I had a weblog where we posted goals each month, and how it made us accountable to each other. I also talked about you at the beginning. How you are probably the most goal-oriented person I know, and how you make life happen.

I felt like I was talking a mile a minute, but my roommates said I was fine. So yeah... I wish you could have all been there.... but I guess your magical cars were broken down... oh well, I guess that was just Nate and Manda's. =)

I've been back at work all week and staying extremely busy. With the end of the quarter coming up I have to make sure we are ready for grades to go out. I am the "paperwork" queen. I think the main reason I'm with Eileen is to help her be organized.

Oh, here's another funny story. I was called in Sunday morning to get my calling before church. I was told to meet with the first counselor. I got into the office and sat down and then he couldn't find my calling written down... so he couldn't figure out what to call me as. I went out and found the bishop and so he brought me into the office and gave me a calling... I was set and ready to go... and therefore when Bro. Roberts came into Relief Society I didn't think he was looking for me. But he was. He said that the bishop wanted to see me again, ironically I was "escorted" upstairs by the first and second counselors. I got into the bishop's office and he told me that he had given me the wrong calling. So then I got my real calling. And after I got back to RS the president, Hope, told me she was mad that they'd already given me a calling because she had had me in mind for something. Oh well, I guess I can't just help it that I'm so popular. Remind me to tell you what my calling is after Sunday when I get sustained.

Anyway, I have institute in just over an hour and I should make and eat dinner before that since it doesn't get over until nine. So remember who you are and who loves you. (me!)

Love,
