1. I saw the doctor this week to review blood test results...everything came back fine. We talked about his weight, my weight, how we both need to just do it, but time, effort, energy...He doesn't have 80 extra pounds of baby weight to lose!
2. Monday night rehearsal went well. I'm looking forward to holiday concerts. I think I might invite Aunt B (I used to teach her great niece piano) and my neighbor Ms. Long to my concert at the beginning of December. It'll be a nice night.
3. Not one but TWO root canals on Thursday. Sigh...another negative to pregnancy for me...inability to brush my teeth without gagging and throwing up. Joy! Now I must hang on until I can get my crowns! Augh!
4. Friday I didn't go in to work, I spent the morning preparing for our Young Woman Book of Mormon Read-A-Thon. It started Friday at noon and ended Saturday at noon. Can I just tell you it was hard and fabulous all at the same time?! We wanted to help the girls read the Book of Mormon! They were to have started by reading some at home, we'd read the bulk of the Book and they'll need to finish!
5. Our awesome Stake President stopped by around 12:30 to share his testimony of the Book of Mormon. So profound and I could really feel the spirit of his words. He discussed with the girls where the book came from...how we use the King James Version of the Bible, he spoke on how that record is of a people in Jerusalem...he spoke of Christoper Columbus coming to the America's and finding people here. He explained The Book of Mormon was written by the people in America and how they too received a testimony of Christ as he visited them. The Book is Another Testimony of Christ!
6. We had guest readers, we listened to the Book of Mormon, we had food, lots and lots of food. We took turns reading allowed together, we took turns reading like we had British accents, southern accents, as if we were a preacher, like the whale from Finding Nemo. We made a human pyramid and we did the Mannequin challenge that's popular right now. The girls colored, they braided hair, they laughed, they had fun. Some of them were snoring by 9pm, others waited until midnight, a select few hung in there until 3:30 (I myself being one of them) and then others laid down at 6. We were all awake by 8 for a pancake breakfast and to finish reading.
7. It was such an awesome experience. I am so blessed and grateful to be apart of this church. I told the girls, we don't do this sort of stuff because we have nothing better to do! It's because we love them and we know the church is true. As exhausted as we all were I was just so surprised by the feelings I received from helping and being apart of this event.
I am blessed!
