Journal --

Jennilynn mentioned today that I could use this as my journal and then print it up later.  I have also heard this from Lynne.  I quit posting because it became too difficult to add pictures and make changes.  I think it was because I would always use the Internet Explorer and Blogspot isn't that compatible with it.  It likes Google Chrome.  So, I'll try to convert.  I'll try and use this as a journal so if you don't want to hear about my mundane thoughts and everyday doings then you most certainly won't want to read this when I write.  :)

This year is half way over and I can't believe how fast its going.  I'm kind of glad because that just brings me closer to being released from Relief Society Pres.  I know I'm not suppose to feel this way but this is a really hard calling.  I do love the sisters and amazingly enough, the part of this calling I like the best is visiting in the sisters' homes.  I'm not afraid at all to go knock on an unknown door and make a visit there.  That used to terrify me up until a couple of years ago.

The part of this calling that I dislike the most are the problems that people make up.  Those that are so needy . . . . no, I even don't mind them.  Its when they are demanding and ungrateful with their needs.  Its when the same people who are doing the demanding are the very same ones that can not help out when some one else is in need.

Then on the other hand, there are the same ten sisters in the ward that are asked to do everything.  They will never say no and they are so kind and charitable.  They are the ones that rotate in and out of presidencies in the auxiliaries; Primary, YW, and RS.  These women are one of the things about the calling I love.  I have learned that there are still good hard working people who love the gospel.  They quietly go about doing good works and serving others.  Somewhere someone has instilled in them ideals and qualities that have become part of them.  They, I'm sure don't know they are special they are.

I still have a hard time teaching adults.  I get tongue tied and my mind will go blank, even after studying out what I am going to say.  I am always in my element among the children.
