Boy, has it been a full day!  I tried not to speculate about my interview with a member of the Bishopric, but I admit to some.  And it was all wrong too.  I would never have guessed.  Bro. Bill called me to the building 'security' team.  Whose are the old men who make sure that the building is locked up at night.  In a way it was a relief, but in a way it was kind of a downer.  But a calling is a calling....  I did get up in testimony meeting and was first in line after the Bishop.  I actually had a 'gem' come to mind and I quoted "No man is an island.  No man stands alone.  Each man's joy is a joy to me.  Each man's grief is  my own."  Just remembering it was a fulfillment of a blessing in my Patriarchal Blessing.  I do believe that I added to the tone of the meeting, which was quite positive and uplifting.  Then Sheila and I drove over to the Wentworth where we spoke and did alright.  I saw her's as her best yet, and I felt happy about my talk, but neither of us is making anything big over it.  Late4r while she worked on dinner and cookies we talked and I napped some.  After 4 and coming up on 5 the family arrived and with Sherri's family, Richard and Kathy, Shelli's family and Linzi and Zach we enjoy the fine meal Sheila prepared and then had a very nice lesson which was also prepared by Sheila.  We had 2 closing prayers (Logan and Zach) and then just hung out until almost 10 p.m.  It was so relaxed and casual and fun.  I have so much on my mind.  I hope to hang on to most of in as well as all that will come as a result of Monday.  But it will be much easier because of all that I did on Saturday to prepare for the new work week. 

We turned on our air conditioner today.  Now my office is too cold and I will have to figure a way to deal with that.  But I am excited to move forward.  The family sure has lots going in as well.  They are all so busy.  We can't keep up with it all so that makes nights like tonight that much more important.  Wish all of them could be here with us.
