I forgot to check the mail. Usually we have evening scripture study from the BOM, but not on Monday nights.

I swore my life wouldn't be this way, but it is. This is the only way I can survive. Schedules and daily personal goals. That is why I love relaxing in Oregon, there is no need for all this crisis. I have 3 dinners this week to do: One for the missionaries, one for a community group (60 people), and one ward/community potluck dinner (200 possible people). 4 nights of soccer, one night of dance, one night of cub scouts, plus all the dinners listed above. Next week is not looking any better.
