Went to Church today. We have an investigator, a neighbour, Lindy, who often went to Church with friends but hasn’t been baptized. She came along with us to Church, which was fun. Connor gave an awesome talk about hot to keep the Sabbath Day holy, how to respect and understand it. He encouraged us to ‘lengthen’ the joyous feel of Church throughout Sunday. Long talk, can’t believe he prepared as much as he did. He did a very good job and I’m proud of him. At Church there was a linger-longer: I poured chili on a hot potato and ate it. Chocolate cake afterwards. Had a good time talking with people at my table, people I know in the ward, and Lindy (I hope I’m spelling her name correctly). The Prophet, Thomas S. Monson (when will we start calling him ‘Tommy Monson’? Good stage name… I wonder if its too disrespectful) addressed college-aged youth about the importance of education and staying devoted to the Gospel. I liked it a lot, very heart-warming.
When we got home, we each went to our respective homework. I’m trying to finish Neuromancer by William Gibson for International Cyberpunk. Then we watched The Green Mile with Tom Hanks.
I forgot to mention Saturday! Not too much to tell about the day, other than it was BEAUTIFUL outside… sun was shining, grass was green, not warm but gently cool, could see the ocean from a distance… Connor and I watched Pi and were amazed by its wonderful intriguing notions. I think we have reached the end of our list of movies and TV shows easily obtained from XBox Live and Hulu… I can’t wait for shows to begin again.
I’ll go to sleep now… busy day tomorrow…
