I failed to bring my journal with me this week but I will do my best to remember what happened....After much thought and reflection I have come to the conclusion that I only remember from Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday - interesting - that is why I have a journal.

Well on Thursday we had Zone Conference. I had a wonderful interview with President Summerhays and we talked about being a brothers keeper. I feel relieved and more at peace after talking with him. I spent a while talking with Sister Summerhays, we got close in Tallahassee and I've missed talking to her - so that was nice. We met with Avonlea, (my kindred spirit), Sister Hartman is helping her with math - I read while they talked math.

Friday I don't remember.

Saturday was the baptism. We left the house early to go to the Stake Center to fill up the font and make programs. Everything went off without a hitch, well Jacob was late but he kept calling so we knew he was coming. We went to lunch at Applebee's - then we went back to the Stake Center for one of the Elders baptisms - then we went to the church to watch the Women's Session of Conference with Kim.

Sunday they all got Confirmed and I spent most of the day getting all the paper work filled out so they can have records made. We had a pot-luck at church and they got to socialize. Haadi is helping someone move on Tuesday - way to jump in with both feet! Last week he was in Louisiana with the Elders Quorum helping clean up the mess Gustoff left behind - he is going to be great in the church. We gave them all quads and Kim was telling us how Haadi had spent the better part of the afternoon on Sat learning the tabs on it. Cute!

We went tracting that evening and I gave away two Restoration pamphlets which is normal and fine except for the fact that I forgot that I had put our family Christmas photo in one of them 'cause the Elders wanted to see the fam and I didn't want the photo to get bent. Now either Leslie or Brandy has the picture and we're not meeting with either of them till later in the week. Sad.

Sounds like Annie's wedding was beautiful I look forward to getting some pictures. Taylor you look gorgeous in your dress! It is so you. I'm glad you had fun - that's the way dates should be.

Thanks for the update on the world around us Dad. On Thursday President talked about how thankful he was that everything seemed to be going to the dogs. He talked about how only humble people could usher in the 2nd coming and that we were being prepared for it. Even if it is 10-100 years from now - I'm not sure how comforted I am.

That's all I've got to say. Love ya, Kelli
