Just got called to teach CTR!!!!

Yesterday I got released from nursery and called to teach CTR. I was pretty shocked because this class is preparing them for baptism. What a huge responsibility. I am excited though as I am in my early career in the primary.(my pat. blessing said I would have many callings with children.) So I am excited to teach those children as the prepare to become a member of the church and receive the gift of the holy ghost. I sort of remember me at that age. I remember the feelings I had that day and getting ready with my mom. It was an awesome day. Also yesterday I almost didnt go to church, but felt I had to go. Now I know why. Plus I needed to hear the lesson about being valiant. When the teacher said that the prophet Joseph Smith said something about being worthy to have such hard trials and how great that was. That struck me because I have been feeling like no one likes me and why even try anymore, but got this thought in my head that said, "stop feeling sorry for yourself and go and just live the gospel." It is such a true thing to remember. My life isnt that bad. I have a home, job, and a great family that loves me even though I am a mystery to them. Sometimes I feel like I cant do it, but I remember my dad. My Dad is a huge example because he was inactive for almost 30 years and searched for something to only come back to where he started. It takes a lot of courage to come back and very humbling. I am proud of him. Now he can give me blessings and has a temple recomend. So I guess I am saying that I figured out I can do it and just keep going. I am grateful for my life and the gospel. I dont know what I would do without it. Anyways I thought I would share that.

Things still just going.

So my life is good. Nothing really drastic going on. I have a week off and I am cleaning my room!!!! I know I am shocked as well, but I am sick of it too. Got my taxes done and I am excited that I am going to use some of my refund money to finally buy Rosetta stone so I can finally learn basic Russian. I am so excited. I know some Russian and can read a bit, but I am ready now to go the full yard. I haven't done so before because Russian reminds me of Andy and I needed to heal that part of my heart so I could do it without thinking about him. Finally!! I know that is what you are thinking. I am so excited that my nephew will be born in a few weeks. Maybe I can get this one to like me more instead of Aunt Bob winning with my niece. I am only second best, so maybe Seth will take to me. I seem to bond really well with boys. I am not saying I haven't bonded with Erin because I have. She just loves Aunt Bob more. The major thing I am aiming towards and is my major goal is getting my endowments. I had that as a goal, but things haven't gone as planned, so that is my main goal. Obviously that is where I need to go because things have just seemed to have gotten harder since I made that decision. OH and some major shocking news. I am finally getting a cell phone. I am finally giving in to that thing, but only a pay as you go thing. I rarely get phone calls and it will be better for my babysitting jobs. Becca is going to take me so I don't get tricked into anything because I have no idea about anything cellphone related. That is the update.
Wow, I really have a boring life.
