October General Conference
'Tue Your Heart to Jesus Christ: The Sacred Gift of Primary Music'
Sister Tracy Y. Browning
I don't remember what time it was when I got out of bed.
Daylight savings ended this morning at 2 am, which means Jared & Kacey are only an hour ahead of us instead of two.
After eating I took some Tramadol and laid down to sleep until I feel better. I was awake in time to get ready for church.
Even though I don't particularly care for the design of the fabric of the dress Catherine gave me, it fits perfectly and is very comfortable. James called it "loud", so I wore it with my black sweater and he said, "Oh, that's so much better."
Steve Allen conducted fast & testimony meeting and announced, rather emotionally, that we would be getting a new bishopric next week.
Sister Golly was released as ward music director and ward chorister. We will miss her and the special numbers she planned. Sister Jan Rosen will be the ward music director and Alicia Hunsaker will be the ward chorister. Sister Golly was called to the Young Women's and Alicia was just released from Young Women's.
James bore the last testimony of the day. It was the best and I'm not saying that because I love him, it really was!
Brother Applegate taught gospel doctrine and asked for the class to share temple experiences. James shared one about William Strickland whose name was lost and now found. I shared my experience about being sealed to my parents, again.
James signed us up for tithing declaration this afternoon and saw Brother Lauritzen in the hall. He told him we would not be attending the parenting class and when Brother Lauritzen tried to talk him in to it James said: "All of our kids are grown and most of our grandkids are grown too."
Brother Peralta pulled James aside after Sunday School and discussed a personal matter with him. He said he has now failed his temple recommend interview 3 times and he doesn't understand why. He said he mentioned in his testimony he used to smoke and drink and maybe they thought he was still doing that be he said he gave it up a long time ago. I told James it seemed weird to me that he didn't know why they wouldn't give him a recommend. James wasn't quite sure what he could do but he encouraged Tom to keep trying.
Amy asked me how I would feel about teaching Relief Society next week as she was going to be out of town. I hated to turn her down, but I did. I have a group of people coming to my house this week and I'm not ready. I told her and she was so nice about it. I feel a little guilty because she taught for me when I needed her. Amy is a little more laid back than I am. I wish I didn't stress so much about teaching. She got Paula Johnson to teach and Paula will do a great job.
When we got home we broke our fast with leftover roast and potatoes. James fixed the lunch, well he heated it up, and then did the dishes.
We rested and I finished watching "Christmas in Midnight Clear."
We had tithing declaration at 3:20. Ed & Debbie Miller we ahead of us and when Ed came out he claimed he got a refund. He is such a jokester.
Sheri texted me and said Elder Barcellos came to their stake conference. She also said Sheri Allen was released as a counselor in Relief Society. She is Sheri's friend. As a result, Sheri asked to be released as a teacher. I didn't know what to say. Sheri says Sundays are hard and she spends a lot of time crying. I feel so bad for her. She is hard for her right now.
I was in cat prison with Tom tonight so I had to watch another Christmas movie. James worked on the puzzle and got quite a bit done.
Today was a gorgeous day. 75 degree, sunny, and no wind.
"If you ever feel like you don't quite fit in, please know that you are not alone.

And when he shall prove himself faithful in all things that ahll be entrusted unto his care, yea, even a few things, he shall be made ruler over many.
Did you get it for playing the piano?
