          Since our schedule is so routine and we are not out in the city meeting people, the posts may become repetitive.  I would still like to post every day for my journal, but after more time has gone by, it will be time to see if that is reasonable and worth the effort.

          This morning there was little choice except to become my own beautician and color my hair.  The first time doing anything is always hard, but it actually went great and looks so much better than the gray.  Thank goodness.  I could have been scary!  Alexis said that would have made a funny picture.

          My scripture reading today was enlightening and helped me pace my expectations.  We know we are not to  run faster than we have strength.  We also need to work and be diligent—after which will come the blessings.  Those are both from the Doctrine and Covenants and aren’t even paraphrased very well, but the messages for me were there and I will take heed.

          The temple was very full this afternoon and evening.  A big group of missionaries filled a session or two and there were five groups of youth to do baptisms tonight.  Perhaps they were Mutual Activities. There were two sessions that were over-filled.   There were also a couple of sessions that were very tiny; but nonetheless it was a very busy day!  Glade said they set a record for endowments today.

          Winter has started here, but there was no rain today as expected.  It is humid and quite warm.
