I Tried

Happily, I successfully delivered my talk this morning. I spent more time that I though I would to write it. There were prayers involved.  There were tears shed. There was homework neglected. It was all worth it. I actually enjoyed the entire process (don't tell the bishop).

I listed to a talk each morning until Friday. I don't know how I forgot that day, but I spent a few hours on my talk that afternoon. I used quotes from two different conference talks. I'm not sure that counts because I has read them and listened to them several times at that point. I consider this goal almost accomplished.
The Book of Mormon thing is still not happening. I don't know where the mental block in for that . I am going to put it in my pocket calendar and see if it makes it easier to remember.
My goals this week are to read or listen to the Book of Mormon at least 4 days, listen to a conference talk Monday through Friday, and pray each morning.
