September 29

I woke up this morning and realized that I am really nervous about our first Family Home Evening at USP tomorrow.  Nervous to the point of paralysis.  Not knowing how many people I am going to have to prepare to feed just about does me in.  If I make enough for twenty, twenty-one will show up.  If I make more than enough, no one will show up.  I so wish that worrying was a calorie burner.  How wonderful it would be to lose weight every time I am worried.

It is the fifth Sunday today and we sat in a "State of the Ward" talk by Bishop Farpa'pau.  We wanted to remember what he revealed and so I am going to reproduce it here.

                                                          At End of                Goals for                 End of
                                                             2012                        2013                      2013

Melchizedek  Priesthood                        30                             35                         38
Aaronic Priesthood                                  9                             16                         16
Temple Rec. Holders                             41                             45                         47
Couple Sealings                                     14                             14                          0
Missionaries                                             4                               8                         16
YSAs Attending Church                        12                             15                         15
Convert Baptisms                                     4                               8                         16
Sacrement Attendance                           107                           120                      185

Both Scott and I were just blown away by these statistics.  Only in one category did we not meet the goals the Bishopbric set, and out of the eight goals, we exceeded them four times two by twice the original goal.  Amazing.  Our bishop is so wonderful.  We are going to miss him when we go home.
