A Very Full Day! 13 April 2017

I got a bit of a late start on my P-day activities, because I stayed up later than usual last night to do more sorting and packing, so I slept in for about an hour.

Sometimes I get quite annoyed with myself.  I had planned to go to the house of some friends first, and then go to the Distribution Center--but I initially reversed the order.  Then I made a lot of wrong turns and ended up nearly back at the apartment before I remembered how to proceed.  Even then I made some wrong turns, and had to call my Sweetheart to get the exact address.  I had thought I would remember, but I was just a little off.

The friends were both home, and they got to chat by phone just a bit with my Sweetheart.  They will not be able to make it to our wedding, but they wish us the best, and hope we come to visit before too much time goes by.

Driving back to the Distribution Center took me past the road where an In'N'Out Burger restaurant is.  It was a good thing traffic was heavy and I was in the far lane, or I would have had a burger for breakfast!

I spent more than an hour at the Distribution Center. I did get a few things, although not the clothing I went there for.  It is OK, though, as I have some other options.

On my way back I stopped at a new warehouse food store--and bought one banana! That was my breakfast.  When I got back to the apartment I had time to eat a small lunch before heading to Capstone.

There were a few new things to learn at Capstone, but also the opportunity to teach the sisters sitting on either side of me. The one sister had conflicting sources--which turned out to be indexing errors.  The other sister did not know some of the neat features of syncing Ancestry with Family Tree, so I was able to share that.

The second teacher at Capstone finished early enough that I was able to go to the Temple for a session.  I slept through most of it, unfortunately, but at least the work got done.

The wind had picked up very much, but the sun was out, so I was plenty warm.  I went to the Church History Museum for a lecture on The Trial of Jesus, by John W. Welch. There were many insights to be gained.  One in particular struck me as significant:

In speaking of Christ's suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane, the Greek has been translated incorrectly in speaking of agony.  The actual words mean a war.  Jesus Christ was fighting against sin, and death, and hell, and Satan.  He was not passive, but very actively doing for all of us what we could never do for ourselves.  On this day, which some have concluded is the day he was crucified, I express my gratitude for His atoning victory, and His ultimate sacrifice.  I am grateful that He finished the work that the Father gave Him to do.
