And perhaps since you teach people to sing all day long, you don't want to do that on your weekends. Hmmm. And did NO ONE listen to Elder Ballard's 2008 conference talk? "May I suggest that the bishopric and the ward council members be especially watchful and considerate of the time and resource demands on young mothers and their families." I know the mothers heard it!! I'm just not sure if any of the men in charge did! But hang in there. In a few months (or maybe a few more than that!) you'll have an amazing story to tell us about someone you worked with and changed each others lives. Keep us posted. :) love you!Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14262580712700553717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4586467675942221770.post-45652390874815263692009-03-18T12:49:00.000-07:002009-03-18T12:49:00.000-07:00I'm with you on this.

I'm so sick of it but no one seems to really care that I want to just go to church and enjoy it cause I certainly don't now. Just once I would like to not be in primary and be able to go to Sunday school and relief society.

Not trying to one up you because I understand your frustration. I Love the church. I Love being religious. Sometimes I just want to sleep in on Sunday morning you know?Tyler and Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958726297283289649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4586467675942221770.post-25843925478079194892009-03-16T20:23:00.000-07:002009-03-16T20:23:00.000-07:00This is probably my favorite post ever.

You will be doing so much service you will eat, breath and crap service. <BR/><BR/>Okay so maybe it isn't that bad, but if you are willing to work... ahem.. I mean serve, you get a ton of time. To the point where you say, Uncle, uncle!!! But I do feel for you. It is frusterating feeling like you are just being used for convenience instead of for a divinely inspired purpose. hang in there.

What's great is when the Bishopric informs me that I cannot get married or move until I'm 31 and no longer a 'young single adult.' In other words...I'm not getting released any time soon. :)<BR/><BR/>Yea for cream cheese pie!

The ward is great! You could join me in Sunbeams (we have a gagillion, so we team teach AND have split the class). Seriously, come join me - there is something awesome about being on the other side of Main Street - it's happy over here. Miss ya! Love ya! PS - I have chocolate eclair cake - it chases cheesecake rather well I would think.
