Just Another Session...

So I went to the temple on Thursday. I have never been to such a crazy session!! First of all, it was ward temple night, and Mary and I were the only ones from our ward there. Then we get into the session and several people are wearing translation devices. The officiator had to stop the session about 5 times because they kept breaking and needed replacing. And to top it all off, a girl fainted and hit her head and had to be taken out in a wheelchair! I think everything totaled added about half an hour to our session. Oh, well. Just another day here in Vegas!!

I feel like Jonah

So, I gave my first talk in the new ward today. Mary and I both had to speak on commitment to callings, she using Paul and I was to use Jonah. Everything went pretty well and the ward is actually starting to feel ok. My new calling is to be the ward chorister, so I started that today, too. The organist is kind of odd, and she plays pretty slow. After sacrament meeting my arm was tired from holding it up for so long! She also seems to pick songs that nobody knows. In the four weeks we've been here, I have only been familiar with one song!! I asked about picking some songs, and she told me that she already has the songs picked for the rest of the year. Oh well.

Also at church today was a very creepy guy that Mary met at a dance the first week we were here. He's not in our ward, but apparently he ward hops to meet girls. He tried to corner me after church, but Mary saved me. I really hate it when boys are like that!
