Some may think it would be a pain to go to church for 3 hours, but I love it. I love being around everyone, and learning everything I can about the gospel. I love how I know so many people and how they all know me. And I love knowing that everyone there cares for me. I love going to church, it's impossible to be unhappy at church (well for me at least).
Today was fast Sunday-whoops kinda forgot. So unfortunately I did not fast, but I still tried to make the most out of the day. I love listening to every ones testimonies, it strengthens mine like nothing else. Feeling the spirit so strongly with a hundred other people is so great. I really love listening to the stories from the old people in the ward, they seriously tell the best stories I look forward to every single elderly person who goes up to bare their testimony. In Sunday school we started class by listening to Daughters by John Mayer-I love that song. Probably my favorite song because it is so true. If only all fathers, and mothers, would treat their daughters well I feel the world would be better. If all girls had a good childhood and were raised with standards everyone would be less likely to give into temptation-thus a better world. Do you get my thinking? Anyways, I got pulled out of class early to talk with the Bishop because it was time for my biannual meeting with him. I guess all youth are supposed to meet with him around their birthdays and their half birthdays. It was fun talking with the bishop and telling him about school and how great it's going. He seamed really interested and it made me feel good. Then in young women's, well that was fun! It always is, especially when Jackie teaches. She is so amazing and she manages to get a lesson in while we all have fun. We learned about the importance of repentance, how it is effects you, others, and Heavenly Father. I think I most often forget how my sins may affect others, I want to remember this more.
Sundays are such a great day- I love having a day that I am home. I get caught up on everything I want to do and need to do. All my family is home and resting and together. I love that Sunday is set apart from the rest of the week- as it should be. I feel bad for others who have Sunday blend in with the week. It would suck having a busy Sunday. To me, my whole life, Sunday has been my relaxing day. Yet another great teaching from the amazing truthful gospel of Christ.
