22-Yea, he htat repenteth and exerciseth faith, and bringeth forth good works, and prayeth continually without ceasing - unto such it is given to kow the mysteries of God: yea, unto such it shall be given to reveal things which never have been revealed: yea, and it shall be given unto such to bring thousands of souls to repentance, even as it has been given unto us to bring these our brethren to repentance.
27-Now when our hearts were depressed and we were about to turn back, behold, the Lord comforted us, and said: Go amongst thy brethren, the Lamanites, and bear with patience thing afflictions and I will give unto you success.
James called me and told me he was on his way home. I looked at the clock and figured he would be here in about 3 1/2 hours. Imagine my surprise when the doorbell rang about an hour or so later and it was him. At first I thought it was someone else and I wasn't answering then I looked out the window and saw the truck. Of course he brought green chili burros!
I couldn't really spend alot of time with him because I was getting ready for Young Women's which is this evening. I made this notebook to try and inspire the girls:
Natalie Soderquist called me around 5:00 and told me she wouldn't be coming to YW. That's fine, I figured Kaeli Nicoll, the other counselor, and I could handle it. We were schedule to have a song practice with the stake at 6:15. About six o'cock I got a text from Mary Swift, the Laurel's president, asking me what we were doing for Mutual. Yikes! Natalie was suppose to call the Laurel's and tell them about song practice. Well according to Mary no one called her or MaKenzi, the other Laurel, and they weren't planning on coming to Mutual. Mary, MaKenzi, and Trenda, (Trenda is a Mia Maid), stayed at the school for an event called Park in the Dark. I guess they are watching the movie "Megamind." It's homecoming week and so the kids have been doing crazy things all week. Monday was pajama day, Tuesday super hero day, Wednesday camoflauge day, Thursday casino day, and Friday spirit day. Well I wasn't too pleased that they weren't going to be there but what could I do. Thank goodness 5 other girls showed up. Sister Nicoll had to borrow a key from someone nearby to get in to the Church. The practice went well. The sisters from the stake, one of them was Trisha Crandall, were very patient and kind. The song is totally unfamiliar to the girls. It's called "Arise to the Mountain" and was sung at the General Young Women's Meeting back in March. All the girls in the stake, including their leaders, will be singing it for Stake Young Women's in Excellence on October 21st.
After song practice and opening exercises for Mutual we took the girls into the young women's room and discussed plans for the ward party we are in charge of this month. It's a chili cookoff and Halloween carnival. The Applegate girls and I left a little early to go visit a girl I have only seen once. Her name is Alex Jones. She had a birthday in September which we missed so Shelly baked her some cookies and I bought her a scrapbook with paper in it the colors of the YW values. Alex seemed so happy to see us and we invited her to come and watch the first session of General Conference with us on Saturday morning. Shelly said they would come by and pick her up. I am so glad we went to see her.
Came home and watched an episode of "The Mentalist" with James.
I almost forgot to mention that tonight was the Romney-Obama debate. James watched it and was so excited. He said that Romney did a great job and most of the commentators are saying he won!!
