Not Horrible

Chad and I forgot to participate in the Day of Service. The good news is that we can still participate in the Light the World activities, so we are not doomed.
I did well on my other goals. I have listened to all of this last conference and most of the morning session from the April conference this year. It has been hard to hold back my emotions as I listened and even felt the spirit in my little cubicle at work. I have a cold, so my co-worker had no idea why I was sniffling. I am really loving hearing all of the stories that were told about President Nelson after he was sustained as the Prophet in the April Conference. I can't wait to hear what else was said when I go back to work tomorrow. I am so glad I was prompted to listen to conference! I loved listening to the Book of Mormon, but it was time to listen to something else for a bit. I will admit that there were a few mornings that I felt a bit overwhelmed with everything that I was learning, so I only listened for 2 rather than the 4 hours that I had been allotting to listen to the Book of Mormon. I see this as me really learning rather than me not being as committed, though.

I have prayed a lot this week. I am really worried about my step-sister and her kids. I prayed for a few other people as I felt inspired, but most of my effort has been directed towards her. The more I pray for her, the more love and compassion I feel for her as well. (Funny how that happens.) I wish I could call her and tell her my concerns, but she is not in a place of listening to those things right now. All I can do, is support her and pray for her. Now I know how my friends and family must have felt when I was going through all of the things I did in my early 30's.
This week, I am going to keep praying for her and her girls. I don't think I can stop. I am also going to continue to listen to conference messages. They go back so far that I don't think I could run out of material to listen to, but when I feel the Lord wants me to listen to something else with my gospel listening time, I will. I am also going to attend the temple on Saturday. I need it.
