***Notes of Note from Classes and Meetings
-Teach His words, not yours
-Don't testify if you don't, first, believe it
-Involve the Lord
-Learn to listen to the spirit
-How to study the gospel meaningfully:
1. Why did Mormon put this here?
2. What would I do in that situation?
3. What can I learn from this?
4. How does this teach me of Christ?
5. How will I recognize similar events in my life?
6. How could I share this or explain this in my own words to an investigator?
7. How can I change my life to become like the person I am reading about?
8. What is the context?
9. How did they get where they are? What can I do?
10. What more can I get from this? What is the spirit trying to teach me?
11. Do I believe what I am reading? Why? How?
***May 29, 2004 JOURNAL: Saturday
I didn't even know today was Saturday. I've totally lost track of day and time!
Today was a good day. We got to teach the 1st discussion as a companionship for the first time. We taught to some elders that are leaving next week. the spirit was so strong and it felt good to be able to teach that. I hope we are able to continue at this pace. To learn and practice as much as we can. But mostly to gain our own testimonies of the doctrine we will be teaching I'm finally excited!
For gym time, Sis. Wagstaff, suggested we do laps around campus. I suggested we work on memorizing the fist vision. It worked out great!
GOOD: Memorized 1st Vision, shared 1st discussion, felt the spirit
COMPANION: sweet, patient, non-judgmental, understanding
GOAL: memorize DC 20:37, 5 min talk on Repentance

ohmigosh this is like the cold that won't give up! I can't remember the last time I could hear properly or breathe out of my nose. I can hear Sis. Pulsipher in my ears telling me that if I am feeling sick then I need to clean up my house. Looks like that will have to wait until tomorrow. It's hard though, because I feel like I've gotten a ton of rest in the past few days, especially compared to my regular days. So once again taking it easy today. Whatever the kids do to the house will have to be okay until tomorrow. So, maybe there won't be perfect hair or make-up today at church. Meals will be even simpler than normal. This morning I sat down and purposefully ate a good breakfast. The whole breakfast. Without interruption by babies or putting the dishes away or reading. Just sat and ate breakfast before I got bored and distracted and decided I was done with it. Now I am going to be done with this blog so I can take a short nap before getting everybody ready for church.
