Weekend

This has been a full weekend.  Some of it not very productive, but fun nonetheless.  I managed to watch two more episodes of Star Wars in one night.  New Hope brings back memories as I remember seeing it in the theater when it first came out.  I think it cost a quarter.  Those were the days.

Saturday I drove the van for the servicemen's temple trip to Dallas.  Eleven of us were able to go.  One of the group is a new member and he was able to do baptisms and I did initiatory work.  I have family file names I am still working on.  It was a very special time for me in the temple.

Before we left the Dallas area we had lunch at Chipotle and made a visit to the LDS bookstore.  After a wrong turn and a stop for ice cream we made it back to the base.

After a text chat with a class mate I got a ride into town to a pet store.  I had been there early in the week and saw that they had some of their pets marked way down.  After some deliberation and chatting I made the plunge.  Then after I got her home and took some pictures I text messaged a friend.  Thus, Lucy my five month old little friend was named.

Today was the same as last Sunday with a little less anxiety.  It was my second time conducting and there were fewer people.  I am so blessed that the Lord has given me the chance to serve my fellow servicemen.
I am so grateful for a special friend that helped me so much a few years ago.

Reading: Pygmalion By Bernard Shaw

D&C 93: 1 VERILY, thus saith the Lord: It shall come to pass that every soul who ^aforsaketh his ^bsins and cometh unto me, and ^ccalleth on my name, and ^dobeyeth my voice, and keepeth my commandments, shall ^esee my ^fface and ^gknow that I am;
