On Preparing For Future Roles & Responsibilities

Today was the first time that I ever conducted a sacrament meeting.  I found it to be a nerve-wracking experience.  All in all it went ok.

I feel so inadequate right now.  There are so many small things at school, work and in church that I just don't seem to be taking care of.  I'm doing a satisfactory job but I'm not excelling in any particular area.

I guess the next stage in my life's progress will be learning how to become efficient in several areas of concern at the same time.  I think a couple of key words might be: administrate, delegate, concentrate, and follow through.

I do want to learn a great deal at this time in my life while preparing for the great challenge of being a husband and father.  This time I have to prepare is just too valuable to flutter away in idleness.

John A. is a great roommate to have around.  He is very diligent in his studies and keeps me on my toes.  Today is his birthday.  We went over to Suzie's old place and had ice-cream and cake.  I had to fix the toilet!

Valerie came down yesterday.  We watched the L.A. Express win their playoff game against Michigan.  Then we went to "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" - an incredible movie.  After the movie we took my guitar down to the elementary school.  It was a warm evening and Val looked good in my sweatshirt.  We sat on the merry-go-round and watched the stars.  She cried.

Lots of romantic (in the general nature of the term) feelings and events this summer.

Nighty, night!
