Best Conference Weekend Ever.
Among other (more important) realizations, I've decided that I love french toast with strawberries & homemade whipped cream more than almost any other food.
I got rejected by three boys last week. Amazingly, I don't even care. My friend and I are having a contest to see who can get more boys to reject them in the month of April. I'm totally ahead of her, though. Since I've already mostly exhausted my real-life options, most of my rejections are taking place on ldssingles, so the embarrassment isn't too embarrassing. It's amazing that I think so highly of myself still.
I'm sick of running lately. Maybe that's because it's 30 degrees outside. I'm feeling super lazy about it though. Who woulda thought?
Also, I have a new calling as 2nd couns in RS prez (that's the gangsta way to say it). It's a lot of work, I realized tonight that I have a lot to do. I started to feel stressed about it all. And started to feel like I didn't really want to work that hard when I come home from my workday. The RS pres shared this talk in our meeting and it has since changed my perspective on fulfilling our callings (even though it's about the Priesthood, RS is organized after the Priesthood, so it's applicable) and being diligent. I have a lot to repent of, and a lot of praying to do to change my heart so that I'll want to work harder at it.
After our meeting we went out to visit less-active people. That is my favorite thing to do. Even if I feel dead-tired, visiting people super energizes me. I love that part. It's a lot of work, and can be slightly awkward, but I always love feeling like I can see divinity beaming through people's eyes when I sit on their couch and get to know them. People are amazing and I love getting to know their stories. Or even just their smiles.
Life is goooooooood.
Lindsey, you're really good at getting to know people and helping them to feel loved and accepted so that's probably why the RS president was inspired to call you as a counselor. I'm sure you'll feel the Lord's love as you reach out to those that are on the "fringes" of activity. What greater calling could you have?
