Sunday
Today I gave my first lesson in Gospel Doctrine. It was fun! I enjoyed it quite a bit. Benjamin was my biggest surprise of the day.
First things first...Our van is in the shop. I noticed on Tuesday that I was dripping something. I thought it was just condensation as it has been rather humid that last week so I dismissed it. On Thursday I went to Samuel and Caryn's to pick up the key to their house so we could watch Tinkerbell for them and on the way home I noticed the van was heating up. It got really hot! I barely made it home. My radiator was bone dry. Jeff took a look and said he thought it was the seal on the water pump. The problem was getting it to the shop. We couldn't drive it into town. I overheated in two miles. So it sat until today when a neighbor helped Jeff tow it to the shop. The mechanic, Roland, thinks he will be able to get to it tomorrow and depending on how bad it is, we could get it back by Wednesday. Mostly Jeff and I are worried it's going to turn into something more serious. My nightmare is if it turns out to be a head gasket, but that's just a previous experience talking.
The reason this is important is because we had to hitch a ride to church today. Our neighbors agreed to give us a ride, but they don't leave early enough for me to do prelude, so Jeff dropped me off at church and went back home to finish getting the kids ready.
When I get to church, I pick up a program to check that the hymns were correctly printed. Then I played for a while. About ten minutes before church started I glanced back at the program and noticed that the youth speaker listed was Benjamin! He hadn't told me about it! He hadn't prepared a talk. After the sacrament, I grabbed him and told him that forgetting didn't get him off the hook. He had to go up on the stand and admit he had forgotten and bear his testimony. He did fine. He was told that he will be called again soon. He was not off the hook. The biggest insanity was that Jeff knew about it and he had forgotten as well. It just makes my head hurt a bit.
Lillian has the talk in primary next week. It's a good thing I'm not teaching next week. I wouldn't miss her first performance for anything. She is adorable.
Well, that is my life. Insane, I know!
