Rough Seas

So this has been a really rough few weeks. I've had some family issues come up that have consumed almost my every thought whether awake or asleep - what little I do sleep. I feel like things are finally settling down as much as they can for now. It will be quite an adventure, at least for the rest of the summer, but until then I have to keep moving forward. I don't remember what my last goals were but it doesn't matter now. So my new goals for this week are:

• To better prepare for my lessons by reading through a number of times, knowing the story completely, then writing out an outline so that I can keep track. It doesn't matter how well I know something when I get nervous because I forget everything. It's very difficult teaching Gospel Doctrine when half the class are scriptorians. 

• Say my prayers kneeling down so I can focus better. I kneel on my bed because it's easier on my knees but it's still kneeling.

• Go to the temple - I really need to be with my Heavenly Father in this sacred place.
