OH NO!!!!

OUR MORNING STARTED WHEN THE ALARM RANG AT 3:30 IN THE MORNING.(AFTER SETTING IT AT ABOUT 10:30 LAST NIGHT)  I DON'T BELIEVE I HAVE EVER SEEN 3:30 IN THE MORNING.  IT WAS DARK AND COLD.   WE HEADED TO THE TEMPLE FOR OUR FIRST ASSIGNED DAY THERE.  EVERYTHING WENT GREAT, WE WERE ON TIME, DRESSED AND IN OUR PLACES BY 5:00.    SO FAR SO GOOD.  OH, SISTER MERRILL WELCOME, WILL YOU COME TO THE FRONT AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF.  NO LEAD TIME.  I DO NOT THINK WELL ON THE SPORE OF THE MOMENT.  UHHHH I HAVE 5 KIDS AND 7 GRAND KIDS AND AM JUST HAPPY TO BE HERE.   MORE TALKING THAN I HAVE DONE FOR YEARS AT 5:10 IN THE MORNING.   FROM THERE IT WAS A WHIRLWIND OF LADIES IN WHITE AND CARDS TO MEMORIZE.   BY 8:00 I AM WONDERING WHEN MY BREAK IS.  I HAVEN'T SEEN MIKE FOR THREE HOURS NOW.  BY 9:00 I HAVE GONE UP AND DOWN 50 STEPS AT LEAST THREE TIMES.  MORE EXERCISE THAN I HAVE HAD SINCE LAST OCT. WHEN I STARTED MY 7 WEEK EXERCISE ROUTINE.   I REMIND YOU THOSE STAIRS ARE STEEP.  I FINALLY SPOT MIKE LOOKING GOOD IN HIS NEW WHITE SUIT.  I WASN'T SURE WHETHER TO LAUGH OR CRY SO I GOT HIM IN A CORNER AND WHINED.  "THIS IS HARD".  HE IS SO SUPPORTIVE,  "I NO, YOU SHOULD BE ME, TRYING TO MEMORIZE THREE TIMES AS MUCH AS YOU." OK WELL SEE YOU IN AWHILE.   I NEEDED TO GO TO MY LOCKER FOR SOME CHAP STICK, AND I TOTALLY GOT LOST.  ASK A WONDERFUL SISTER IN WHITE, WHERE AM I.  SISTER MERRILL YOU ARE IN THE TEMPLE. OK FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHERE THE MENS LOCKERS ARE AND THE OTHER LOCKERS ARE AND THEN FINALLY FOUND MINE. GO BACK TO LIBRARY AND TELL MIKE I AM STARVING.   I GOT HIM TO AT LEAST GO WITH ME TO THE CAFETERIA TO GET A DRINK.  NO DIET COKE!!!!!!!!  A DRINK OF WATER AND SOME FRUIT.  THE BANANA CREAM PIE IS DELICIOUS.   WE HEADED BACK TO THE LIBRARY FOR MORE MEMORIZATION.  WENT UP AND DOWN THE STAIRS THREE MORE TIMES.  (I HAD  TO BURN THOSE PIE CALORIES)   BY ABOUT 11:00 I WAS BACK IN THE LIBRARY.  I FELL ASLEEP IN MY CHAIR THREE TIMES.   I WHINED A LITTLE MORE AND MY TRAINER LADY ASKED IF I COULD DO MORE, AND I TOLD HER SURE, BUT MY HEAD WAS GOING TO BLOW AT ANY TIME.  (JUST SO SHE WOULD KNOW TO REVIVE ME) WENT UP THE STAIRS AGAIN, FORGOT EVERYTHING I HAD LEARNED.  SISTER MERRILL, YOU GO TO THE LIBRARY AND STUDY SOME MORE AND THEN WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD AND GO HOME.  GO TO LIBRARY, FIND MIKE THERE AND TELL HIM I AM GOING HOME.  HE GOES BACK UP THE STAIRS (I WONDER IF HE TOOK THE ELEVATOR ALL DAY????)  AND FINISHED  HIS RESPONSIBILITIES.  WE GET DRESSED, EAT LUNCH AT THE CAFETERIA, AND FIND OUR WAY HOME.  

IT WAS A GREAT DAY, AND I HAD LEARNED SO MUCH AND FELT HEAVENLY FATHER' S SPIRIT... BUT I WAS NOT SURE IF I WAS GOING BACK NEXT WEEK.    LAID DOWN ON MY BED AT 1:00  AND DID NOT WAKE UP UNTIL 4:00.  GOT UP, SAID HI TO CHAD, LAID BACK DOWN ON THE COUCH WOKE UP AT 7:00.  ATE DINNER, AND NOW I AM GOING BACK TO BED.  AFTER MY NAP, I HAVE DECIDED I WILL GO BACK NEXT WEEK.  IT CAN ONLY GET BETTER RIGHT?  I NOTICED ONE GIRL WHO WAS BUZZING AROUND DOING EVERYTHING PERFECTLY, SHE DID NOT SEEM STRESSED OR TIRED, NOT IN THE LIBRARY MUCH, AND SEEMED VERY HAPPY.   I ASKED HER HOW LONG SHE HAD BEEN SERVING AND SHE SAID, OH THIS IS JUST MY 2ND WEEK.  THIS IS WHAT THEY HAVE YOU DO WEEK 2.  OH NO!!!!!!!!!
