I’m stealing a few minutes from cleaning time to write a little something. We’re getting ready for Tim’s Sacrament Meeting mission return address thingamajig. Mom decided that she wants to make chicken crêpes. That means that Tim and I get to make a WHOLE lot of crêpes. So there goes my weekend. Not like I ever go out anyway :-)
In fact, I feel like I spend every spare minute studying. It’s kind of like juggling, the way I’ve been studying lately. I’ve got these things to study:
1. Preach My Gospel which I study alongside Predicad Mi Evangelio, looking up all the references in both Spanish and English. Takes forever.
2. Conference Talks—for Young Adult Sunday School, we’re supposed to read a talk per day and write about it afterward.
3. Scriptures—Currently looking through the Book of Mormon, D&C, and New Testament for my upcoming Sacrament Meeting talk on “Blessings of Living a Christlike Life.”
4. Missionary Preparation Manual
5. Spanish for Missionaries—brother Eric gave this one to me, and I’ve been studying in it quite a lot.
So, there you have it. Once work’s over, perhaps I’ll have some time to spare for spending time with some friends. We shall see.
I got a gift from Mavis Oswald the other day. Yeah, Mavis Oswald who’s gone to the same ward as me since I was born. Mavis Oswald to whom I’ve said more than a passing “hello, how are you?” possibly twice in my life. She gave me a kitchen knife for my mission, a package of HLJ rings, $50, and really nice note. Wow.
Probably the best part of my week was when I found out I have Welsh ancestry. Yeah, all my dreams have come true. I’m related to Llewelyn ap Iorwerth AND Llewelyn ap Gruffydd. S’mae! And if you don't know who they are, they are only the two COOLEST people who ever lived. Also I’m related to Edward I, John Lackland, William the Conqueror, and Charlemagne. All on the Hamblin side. Cheers!
