Today And Yesterday (A True Story)

Sunday amazes me once again. I truly am blessed for what I get every week at Church. My Priesthood leaders are amazing, and I always want to be a little better after listening to their powerful lessons. Today was no exception.

We had a lesson on missionary work. We have missionary lessons often because most of us are leaving in the next year and a half or so. I had a dream last night that I was in the MTC. I was already home-sick, and I didn't seem to have much self-confidence about being there. During Brother Payne's lesson, though, I decided I wasn't going to let that happen. I need to be as ready as I can be, because Heavenly Father needs the best missionaries right now.

After church, I got set apart as the second counsellor in the Priest quorom. It was great. While Bishop Stewart was setting me apart, it felt like I was getting a Father's blessing. I thought that was kind of interesting, but I just realized a few mintues ago that it truly was a Father's blessing--a blessing from my Heavenly Father.

Like I said last night--Yesterday was a good day. I woke up to a phone call from Brent Nelson. He told me that he and Shayla were going to see The Dark Knight, and he was wondering if I would watch Brighton for a few hours. Of course, I agreed to do so, and Brighton was in the palm of my hand within an hour. ;)

Watching Brighton was great fun. He and I mostly chilled in the gameroom. I watched him while he played with all the toys; he is such a precious child! His favorite toys were definitely the little daycare chairs. He liked pulling two chairs over to where I was sitting on the couch, and then he would get on one chair and then point at the other one, motioning me to sit on it. When I sat on the other chair, he got really happy. It was really sweet. :)

Brighton gets car sick, and so he threw up on the way to my house. While his clothes were washing, he wore my old volleyball shirt that I used to wear as a child. It was very cute, and I took some pictures.

After Brighton left, I went straight to work, and that was good as usual. So the reason yesterday was a really good day was simply because I got to spend some time with my little nephew! :)
