This holiday began nicely with a phone call with my Sweetheart, and will end nicely with our Skype chat.
In between, I did get a load of laundry done. I was a little worried that the laundromat might be crowded as it always is on Saturday when a lot of missionaries have their P day. But I had plenty of machines to choose from, and I am glad I got that done.
I was hoping to meet with the sister who will take over the Young Elders Dinners responsibilities from me, but she did not respond to my text until late in the day, so instead we will meet for a while on Wednesday evening. I will have already gotten the transfers list by then, and may have already filled out the grid for the coming month. Since I have gotten positive responses from all but 3 of the hosts, I may be able to wait until I am with her to send out the emails with the elders assigned, and I do have some other tasks I can work on with her.
I texted another sister to invite her to go with me to the discount warehouse grocery store, with a proposed time. While waiting for a response I read some of our assigned readings for the quarter--and kept fighting to stay awake. Finally I decided to go to the Hispanic market to pick up oranges to take to the Library tomorrow, as they were quite inexpensive today. Then I had another store to go to, and while I was there the sister texted me. We ended up going together to the warehouse store and then came back to her place, where she prepared some fresh fruit, and root beer floats.
We also had a good talk about a situation that she is facing, and I did feel prompted to share a resource with her that may be helpful in solving the issue. I am glad she felt comfortable sharing her concern with me.
I hope you all had a nice Presidents Day.
