The Gospel is true....and very exhausting. Yesterday I had one of those nonstop, meeting after meeting, no time to eat Sundays. As the daughter of a bishop/Stake Presidency kind of dad, I have always known that many people in the church have VERY long days. So, Dad and everyone else that has spent hours and hours with church activities... I know how you feel.
11:30- Relief Society Presidency meeting (Thank goodness I started this late...we all know I am not a morning person...)
12:15-3:15- Sacrament, Sunday School, Relief Society (Nothing out of the ordinary here!)
3:15-3:45- socializing with some new sisters in my Relief Society (While this may sound like a break, taking mental notes on names, hometowns, majors, etc can be exhausting!)
4-5- My home teachers came and taught us/talked with us. (These two guys are so great, we could have talked for so much longer)
5-6:30- I went and did MY visiting teaching, to two girls (Last Sunday of the month! Whoo hoo!)
6:30-6:45- Super fast meal (only real one of the day!)
6:45-7- walking in the slush/rain/snow/cold in high heels to a Stake Leadership Training Meeting (While this was not an activity or anything, I just want you to pity me :).)
7-8:30-Stake Leadership Training Meeting (First everyone together, and then Relief Society Presidencies on their own)
8:30-8:45- Stinking weather
8:45-9- Interviewing two people to spotlight at ward prayer (This time I had paper and a pen to help me remember names, dates, majors, interests, etc.)
9-9:30- Ward Prayer (So fun...so cold)
9:30-10:30- Linger Longer, sweets and socializing (While this is not a REQUIRED activity...it is if one wants friends in the ward)
10:30-12- Nice long conversation with a friend. (SOMETIMES I am a good listener)
I came home at midnight, read my scriptures(That was for the parents...just so they know! haha), washed my face, brushed my teeth, and that was it. The end.
Even though I make it sound so tiring and arduous, it was a great day! I was spiritually fed,taught by many,able to teach myself, talked with awesome people, and felt like I did not waste a day!

What a great testimony to the fact that, though it may not be so much a day of "rest", it can be a day of renewal. You are awesome!!
Jen, "You Da Man" (wait, that loses something in the translation:-)) My buttons are popping with (righteous) pride or possibly from overeating during the holidays. Mom actually said it best, "You ARE awesome!!
