Remember how I said we only get called to speak only once for Sacrament Meeting? Yeah, I got called on again this Sunday. Ironically my first topic was on Recognizing the Spirit, so when they called on me to talk about the Holy Ghost I was completely surprised. I had the thought I might be called again, but because the chances of being called again are extremely low, I kept pushing the thought away. Still, I decided I better study a little and I found a really good quote from the Teachings of the Living Prophets manual on Lorenzo Snow I had mom send me. It's not on the list of "approved books" which is why I didn't bring it initially (though it is a church manual), but I've learned so much from it that I had to request it. And, since we sustained a new counselor to our Branch Presidency, the 1st counselor to the MTC Presidency and his wife was there and didn't say anything about it except that I did a good job, so I guess I get to keep the manual. :) (Not that I was really that worried anyway.)
The weather lately has been super nice, so every day for gym we'll all go to the field to play kickball, Frisbee, Trackball (my new favorite sport), soccer or volleyball. I feel like a duck out of water when exercising by playing sports instead of dancing, but the bright side is I'm learning how to play. It took 4 outs while playing kickball before I finally got 2 home runs, but at least now I can sufficiently say I know how to play. To others that might seem really naive to not even know how to play kickball, but some people don't know the difference between clogging and tap dance, so I just don't worry about it too much. And in spite of incompetent players, we all manage to have fun anyway. :)
This past Sunday was really weird for me since Sister Walker was sick and had to stay at the residence hall with Sister Litchfield who was also sick, so I went to all the leadership meetings by myself and tagged along with Sister Choi; a solo sister going to Hong Kong speaking Cantonese and who is the sister to the Elder Choi in my district. It was a good day, but it wasn't the same without Sister Walker. Thankfully she's feeling better and although we missed a day of classes we're back to normal again.
I don't know how I missed adding this in my email last week, but I saw Aunt Arlene at the Provo temple!! I don't know what temple members from Manti go to, but I was completely surprised to see her there, though it was so nice to see family! Today I also saw an Elder Shelby Glenn from second ward back home as we left the temple. He's going to [something] California, English speaking so he'll be leaving next week.
Well, my times up, but I hope you have a great week!
