We made it to church and our other meetings just fine, but we were both snoozing happily at 7:30. Each time I looked at the clock through the night I was happy to see that there were still plenty of sleeping hours ahead......little did I know that one of those hours had magically disappeared.
He was an hour and a half late, but they hadn't gotten there yet. He ended up staying until nearly 3 in the afternoon. He came home rumpled and unshaven and drove me over to the center. He returned home and cleaned up and then joined me.
At 6:55, we had only 5 or 6 YSAs there, but by 7:15 we had 20 or so. Amazing how that happens. We never have the same number that we have on Thursdays because those who still live with their parents are encouraged to have Family Home Evening with their families at home.
The young elders gave the message...about Easter, and then we watched the new film (probably less than 2 minutes) from the Church about the Savior. If you haven't seen it yet, you really ought to watch:

There was a great activity, which SK participated in and loved.
Afterwards board games as usual....and visiting. It is always so enjoyable. Jonathan, our dynamic young RM from the French mission showed me a couple of things he has been working on. He is amazing. I always look forward to seeing him, because I learn something new every time.
I talked to Heidi and heard some marvelous things about her mission on Temple Square. She is wonderful. Our newest member, a lovely young woman shared some of the feelings she has about the gospel....it infuses everything she says. She is so happy.
SK talked at length to an investigator about the Book of Mormon. I know what he said is true, and I hope the young man was listening and felt the spirit of SK's testimony.
Time for bed....we are getting up at 4:30 to say goodbye to Elder and Sister Middlemas and then we will be on the road to inspect 2 missionary apartments about an hour's drive from here.
Another PLUS about living in AZ - NO daylight savings. We do have to keep track of it though - as family members are involved.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great night at the center. Seems that everyone had something to share.
L&P - and hope you catch up on the extra hour.
Thank you! We keep such late hours, I sometimes wonder if we will ever catch up. Our day typically begins around 2:30, and we have said all along, we will stay at the center as long as any one of the YSAs want to be there. So we seldom leave earlier than 11 and often midnight. But we enjoy it! L&P
DeleteI'm so happy to have daylight savings!! Though this year we happened to be in New Mexico the week it started. We arrived late Saturday night, and had to wake up an hour earlier for early church!! It was so annoying. I now have empathy for everyone who has to deal with that! Sounds like a great FHE night at the center.
ReplyDeleteEveryone who has to deal with daylight savings is smirking right now, knowing that you understand the trials they go through! It WAS a great FHE. Love you.
