I shook the hand of an apostle of the Lord tonight. Elder L. Tom Perry spoke at our devotional. When I shook his hand, I did feel power come out and into my body. Not physical power but spiritual power. I know that he is an apostle.
His speech was a needed rest. I have really felt like I have been sinking under the load of this final week. I am trying to do everything and I am not doing anything well. Re-passing, learning new concepts, my relations with others are really sagging and I haven't felt too good about my attitude.
I FEEL BETTER! I've done some talking with Elder Laycock but it is late and I will write about it tomorrow.

"Talk about feeling overwhelmed!"
Talk about feeling overwhelmed! It seems as though I am about to go down the third time without air. There are so many things that I have to do to get ready. I think, in fact I know that something is going to be forgotten. I would write them all down but I don't have enough paper!
It just started raining pretty good which has lifted my spirits considerably. I do wish I had time to write more in here, but later.
We just got back from a testimony meeting with the new District. They are really a super bunch. Their testimonies were so sweet and full of love. It really lifted my spirits. It reminded me of the real reason why we are here. It makes all those other things seem a lot less significant.
Afterwards I told them about "abrazos", and they readily accepted the idea and I got a big abrazo from each. I really have benefitted from each one of them.
The Lord is so good in answering my prayers, as insufficient as they might be. We received some lessons on faith and prayer today and they were really good.
We are going to effect one massive move tomorrow. The whole MTC is rearranging rooms so that all the missionaries of any particular branch will be on the same floor. So we have to pack everything up. Plus Elder Brown and I are getting gamma globulin shots tomorrow. It will be interesting to say the least.
