I was feeling contentious tonight because I missed the temple last week and they did baptisms and then an endowment.  This week I thought they would do that again, but they just want to do an endowment first.  So I asked Pres. Watson, he was walking around, and he said that after you've been going pretty regular that it would be alright to go for a baptism or something and then go home.  [That was a really long run on sentence.]

  I felt like it was wrong etc.

I felt like this - blue kind of sideways & wrinkley smiled.  So I prayed, for 10 minutes I bet, about my concerns etc.  I just decided to do endowment and then let the others worry about themselves.  So I feel much better and Heavenly Father has indeed blest me tonight with calmness & peace & I thought it would be important to write it in my journal - even though it's now 11 am.  night

We spent a lot of time last Friday night looking for some glasses I lost.  Me, mom, and dad - then Saturday the 3rd I went to the temple and took my endowment out.  It was really neat, kind of scary, well not scary, but just different.  I can't talk about it because it's sacred.  But at one point I put the garments on and he told me a little about them and I felt so peaceful.  It was really nice feeling. 

Yesterday mom and I went shopping.  We bought two suits and an extra pair of pants then 3 times, a belt, and hankerchiefs.  I've never used a hankerchief (well hardly ever) in my life.  Looks like I'll get used to it huh?  We also got my garments.  2 pair 50% cotton, 50% polyester.  4 pairs 100% cotton and 4 pair thermax - like longjohn style.  well night
