May 30

Strange day.  Scott taught his lesson, we had one YSA in institute to do family history, we had the usual crew to the temple. We got everything we needed to do done, but it just felt strange.  I think this week has been a weird one.  All week Scott and I have been putting one foot in front of the other doing what needs to be done, but not enjoying it or even feeling good about what we are doing. 

Had the cutest experience today.  On Thursday morning Annie (aka Marian the librarian) and I opened the institute library doors so that Dad's Mission Prep Class could check in and check out books.  Peni Davuke came into the kitchen/library, turned in his library book, and then walked over to the closet where the books are stored.  Generally Peni takes forever to pick out a book.  I love watching him pick up a book, peruse it, and then put it back--over and over.  Well not today.  He stood there for about 60 seconds, grabbed a book, turned around to face us, hugged the book and then said, "I did not pick this book.  It picked me!"

What a great thing it is for these young single adults to have the opportunity to read these books and become better, more knowledgeable sons and daughters of God.
