It's Sunday morning just before 7.   I got up and checked the alarm to see what time Sheila had it set for.  It will go off at 7:30 and that will give us sufficient time to be ready to leave after 9 for our first real missionary day at the 10th ward.  I felt like my best use of my time after reading my chapter was to come down here and write a 'chapter'.  I checked the 'sites' (nothing new this morning) and watched a wonderful church video about 'God so loved the world' posted by a sister in our 'old' ward and it brought tears to my eyes and so I feel quite wonderful as I start this day.  If we can do anything at all to help His work even in our most humble effort it can be a good day.  Regardless of that our day will be good because we will spend the evening with family, in this case celebrating Sharon's birthday and enjoying a free  meal.  We were there yesterday for Alexi's 14th birthday balloon and breakfast celebration and then spent the rest of the day recuperating from our long and busy week by just lounging around and watching tv together while doing what needed doing in order to be ready for today.  I have been reviewing what I know about all that is currently going on family-wide.  I wish we could take it all in, but we can't.  But I do hope to catch up on it a lot more tonight.  By then we will have had our first experience with the 10th Ward for a Sunday block-plus, and how much we will have to share I know not. but I do anticipate that we will be different then from right now (Sheila is sleeping!) as we are different now from yesterday morning early before gathering at Herriman. Seems like every day is full of new lessons, experiences and growth and I really am amazed at the changes that I believe have happened to me.  I don't know if anyone else would concur, but I am astonished!  I hope to keep on trying to figure it all out, but the journey feels absolutely wonderful.
