I kinda understand

In the very best spirit of " never give up even if it is pointless" I decided to make one final attempt in our Sunday school class to encourage people to go to the national conference as there's just enough time to rush a form in if somebody really wanted.

To no surprise from me what so ever nobody was interested. Although the new girl from Oz did admit that she had a choice between going to eqypt and going to the conference and had chosen Eqypt. Now to be fair even in my " I'll keep promoting conference till I make you go insane coz I think it's great" opinion I kinda understand where she's coming from as if I had a choice like that I would probably have gone with Eqypt as well because lets face it, it will probably have better weather.

So it seems now ( asides from any information that I don't know and lets face it what I don't know could fill several dozen books) that I will be the only YSA making the trip to conference from this side of Leicester stake. Which in turn means another long car trip by myself which on the way up there is not so bad coming bad is usually when it sucks as you want to be able to talk to somebody, swap stories of the weekend, gossip..... Wait did I say gossip? Church members never gossip they simply sometimes pass information among themselves which others might find interesting and or useful.

Of course I could just be being a touch pessimistic and I do end up with some passengers from Nottingham stake, which would be nice as it would be a way of meeting some new people before I even arrive at conference.

If not, well I managed to tackle the conference alone last year, I'm sure I can do it again this year.

I hope.

We had two really good lessons today at Church. The Priesthood lesson was on friendship in the church and the teacher was really good. The Sunday school lesson was really good as it was on sealing and temple marriage and the teacher got M r ( formly M Y) to come in and talk about she prepared for a temple marriage. She talking about a lot of things and to be honest I won't describe them here as I think it would do her words a deservice to paraphrase them as there was something that really touched me and it was just so powerful. In fact I felt myself getting a bit teary at what she said. It was just one of those lessons that I think will stay with me for a long time.

I spent some of this afternoon helping Grumpy with some of the Family history and entering it on the computer. there's been a surge of interest in our family history from well the family. As we have a scanner we've also been scanning some old photos in and having a well quite a interesting time really.

We also had the home teachers come round this evening and for some reason Owen just went berserk! When they first arrived he was jumping up at the door and boosting himself up so high I was sure he was going to crack his head on the ceiling! When they came in Owen just starting barking so we had to sit holding onto him until he calmed down.

Nutty dog!

Well no work for me tomorrow as I have next week off, so I get a nice lie in. But it won't have too much of a lie in as I have a plan to do something constructive.

Honest!

Later folks!
