This morning my Sweetheart and I got to talk a little more than usual, as I did not go to morning prayer meeting since I was presenting inservice this afternoon. It is always nice not to feel rushed.
I spent more time in the Training room than what I was scheduled for because I had been asked [last week, already] to get one of my study group started on the basic training, so we used the Training room, since we are between sets of new missionaries. As one of the group from the last two weeks told me today, we pushed them out of the nest--where they are flying just fine!
Getting the elder started on the training motivated his wife to make some progress on her own training, and a few others were in the room for their skill development hour, so we had a nice group. Then in the afternoon, the Trainer who was scheduled did not mind letting me just stay during my own skill development time.
Inservice was fun--the second to the last of the set that I developed to help with certification. I do get a kick out of teaching when I know the topic well.
At the end of my shift, the sister who wanted to take me out to eat surprised me with a small party--about a dozen showed up at a local buffet restaurant, where we had good food, and I had the chance to tell the story of how my Sweetheart and I were drawn together through miracles. One of the sisters remarked that I sounded like a teenager--which, I replied, was just perfect, because that is what we intend to remain forever!!!
The couple who drove me to the restaurant dropped me off back at the Library, as I wanted to work more on my Eppingen line--there is little time remaining! After such a nice meal I have struggled to stay awake, of course. One of the sweet young elders asked me if I was Ok, or if I needed help with my research! I assured him I was just sleepy. The research was going fine, except that the computer program keeps closing a part that I need for attaching more people.
I eventually decided I would just check for the song my Sweetheart sent, and write my blog, and then go back to the apartment, where he and I will talk and pray once he is finished with his temple shift. I am so glad I can end my day in such a special way.
