I met Paula Meyhew in my workshop tonight. She is tall, blonde and beautiful. It is easy for me to get infatuated at this stage of life. I've seen her a couple of times before and I had been very impressed. I had even considered asking her out right out of the blue.
She came in with her friend who is going to San Juan, Puerto Rico. I felt very fortunate to get to meet her. Too bad I got my hair shaved today.
Brent and I played tennis tonight. We battled to a six-six tie when they kicked us off the court.
Well John A. is waiting patiently for the truth lamp scoop so I'd better get to it!

The Last Summer With Johnny Ahlstrom & Life At The Elms
The summer is going by us so fast. This is my last summer with John and I want to enjoy it.
After a long day it is a lot of fun and very refreshing to wind things up with a plunge in the pool. We were diving a lot tonight. I did a 1 1/2 gainer and landed on my back.
I am really starting to enjoy life at The Elms. It is great.

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!

Understanding & Recognizing The Will Of The Lord
Johnny Ahlstrom got home today from New Jersey - engaged. He is happy and I think that he will be a little different from here on out. His heart and most of his brain are somewhere in N.J.
I had a very special experience this evening. We held a Bishop's court for R. The details were extensive and many transgressions involving chastity, word of wisdom and honesty were involved. In Bishop Shelley's experience it was the most compounded court that he had ever dealt with. After the initial part of the court, R was excused and we talked. My head was spinning. I didn't know what to think. Being the second counselor, the Bishop asked for my recommendation first. I didn't know what to say. He gave Brent and I more time to think. I was praying fervently that the Lord would make His will manifest to me.
At first I felt that disfellowshipment would be appropriate. I almost said that. Then, as I thought, I decided against that. I just felt that probation would be the right thing. I told the Bishop my decision. He tried to hide a smile that came over his face. I wasn't sure what that meant and it made me nervous but I felt good about my suggestion. Brent expressed the same desire. We then knelt in prayer and we felt the confirmation of the Spirit. The Bishop also felt that probation was the correct decision.
It was a special feeling of gratitude that came into my heart. The decision was unanimous and the Lord was able to make His will known to us.
I'm tired - mentally, spiritually, physically and emotionally!
