October 23, 1996 - Wednesday

Today we taught discussions with the other class on splits.  I thought it went really well.  I'm very thankful for my teachers.  Every day I'm impressed at how well they have taught us.  Also I'm thankful for the gifts my Heavenly Father has given me.  I actually can't memorize very well but I've noticed and it's been commented on that I have pretty good pronunciation.  I hope that it doesn't sound boastful.  But sometimes I look at the other missionaries and they are up there & it is hard not to compare - so I am thankful for that. 

Time to go to bed.  I can't wait for tomorrow because it is my turn to bear testimony on the way home from last class.  I love the Lord with all my heart and I am so thankful that he is helping me with pride.  I need the help big time.  Please know that I love being here and I know I am suppose to be here.  May the Lord bless everyone with love.

Good evening gentle folk.  I had a radical day today.  Tuesdays are always good.  Elder Robert B. Hales spoke to us.  I love it when the General Authorities  and especially when the 12 come.  I love everyone and for the past couple of nights I have loved to pray.  I hope the Lord always helps me to love to pray.  Night.

October 21, 1996 - Monday

It's morning wow.  I've started taking my showers at night but then I don't think I need to get up earlier than six so it usually like 6:30 or so before I start my BOM read.  So I have to continue getting up at 5:45 AM.  But I switched around in bed so that the light from under the door won't keep me up.

Now it's after lunch.  In my interview we talked about how to love everybody.  I am just getting negative thoughts about everybody and negative feelings.  I fasted yesterday and I felt good throughout the day except a little after dinner when I broke my fast.  Maybe it was because I wasn't fasting very much.  Is the only way I am going to feel good is by starving myself?  At least I'd look better. 

Yesterday I wrote little notes for everyone and now I have to write them so that someone else can read it.  I wonder if there is something in my past that I haven't repented of.  I'm sure there isn't because I would know.  The Spirit would tell me. 

Yesterday we had a talk and the guy had several good suggestions.  One was to compliment people more often.  It worked.  I just complimented Ст. Parks & I feel better.  Bye for now - bye

[Okay embarrassing part again.  It seems that I had a little crush on Sister Heaton]
Okay after class, end of night, I feel great again.  It's awesome here.  I think Sis Heaton just brings the spirit out in us, especially me.  I testified on the way home from class and I feel radical [that means cool to all you youngins].  Just glowing.  Plus I gave my letters to Sis. Heaton so she could write them up & send them to us.  Well it's time to go to bed.  I'll probably write a short something after praying.  night.

In my prayers I just talked about this love to me & I hope I can show others His love & my love & how important His love was to me.  night

[Man this post is embarrassing to read as well.  It's read at your own risk again!]

I had an interview today with Sister Heaton.  She is the most wonderful teacher.  I love her.  Of course, only as a friend or teacher/student relationship, but the love is real.

When I prayed tonight, I feel & felt so good.  I wish I could always feel like this.  I know that Heavenly Father loves me very much and I love him so much.  I was kind of depressed this week at the end & I am going to be like Bro. Empey - never have a bad day! [Bro. Empey was one of my HS seminary teachers]

I am also going to write notes for everyone tomorrow so that I can share my love with them & I will feel love & have the Spirit.  That is what I really want - to show people that I love them & to love them.

Пока [bye]
