Our lesson tonight in Preparing for Eternal Marriage was on temporally preparing for marriage.  I was so excited for the lesson.  I had created a little budgeting assignment using a real life situation here.  When we got to the Suva Stake Center, no one was there.  We had to wait for Sister Inoke to get there and then when we went to class, it was just Scott, me and two students.  Two weeks ago I had 14 students.  I hate to say it, but I was disappointed.  I had set the lesson up so that a man and a woman would work on the budget together.  The entire lesson depended on a classroom full of students.  No such luck.  The class starts at 5:30.  At 6:30 two more students showed up---both women.  We have no way to remind these YSAs.  I have decided that I will ask for phone numbers and text them all before next class.  

We always go out to eat after our Wednesday class as I am too hammered to cook after.   It is a nice thing to sit across the table from the man I love, eat and have wonderful conversation.  Just the two of us.  I am grateful to have the money to do it.
