Getting up was a bit challenging this morning, even though I seemed to sleep pretty well. I remembered some dreams, though, so I think my REM sleep has some problems. However, as long as I avoid the cakes, cookies, candy, etc. I seem to not be having as many issues with daytime sleepiness.
Once I got myself up and moving I started on a project I had decided on a few days ago--switching out my wardrobe from summery clothes to fall and winter items. I was pleased to see that I do have plenty of warmer clothes, although I won't know exactly what I will need here until I experience the weather. I made some decisions about items I will pass on to the swap shop. I left a fairly complete wardrobe, summer and winter, back in Missouri, so I put aside several items that I will not miss if I give them away.
Maybe my project brought on the chilly, rainy weather we had this afternoon? When I went to the Library at 1 it was a little cool, but when Mission Conference and Choir practice ended at 5 it was cold and rainy. I was grateful I had thought to bring my umbrella! I shared with a sister who had served with me in the St. Louis Temple, and this proved a blessing to me because I learned how to cut through the Conference Center to stay out of the bad weather for a portion of the distance back to the apartment.
I passed two more training module quizzes today, so I think I just have 4 or 5 to go. I worked on those this evening, as I was not needed to help any guests. I was asked to help with some French guests, but one of the French-speaking staff members was able to come help them out, for which I was grateful.
I talked with my oldest daughter today and learned about my dear grandson's plans for the next few months. I also got to talk with my Sweetheart for a nice amount of time this morning, and that helped me figure out some things I needed to get done in my own research. We only had a very brief time tonight to talk and pray together.
The Mission Conference went better for me today. Although the General Authority who spoke was from Germany, I could understand most of his presentation. He actually did a rather interactive talk, which was nice. The topic was to remember. The scripture he used was one for which I had made notes concerning the blessing that resulted in my serving this mission, So I definitely remember that!
Our choir director seemed very pleased with our rendering of More Holiness Give Me. Then during practice he shared that when he is working with us he feels much younger. Maybe that is how it will be when we sing in the celestial choirs above.
