Schedule Change

Well, it was inevitable, really. My biggest fear when I started this mission was that my assigned ward would meet early in the morning. When I found out that the Pioneer 25th Ward meets at 1:00 P.M., I was so happy! I guess the Lord sought fit to humble me. Bishop Angilau announced today in Sacrament Meeting that starting August 21st, our ward will be meeting at 8:00 A.M. to accomodate the extra ward who will be utilizing our building while the new Stake Center is being build. We won't move up to the 10:00 A.M. block until the new year and will continue to change meeting schedule every four months. Ai yay yay! I don't get up in time to go into work at 9:00 A.M. on the weekdays ... how am I going to do this? Well, whatever it takes ... I'll be there. Maybe this will make a morning person out of me and I'll learn to be more productive that early in the morning. If I've learned anything from my life experiences, it is that Heavenly Father has a sense of humor and to never say "never!"

Night owls can never be morning people. They just learn to function in the AM when necessary.; 7/29/2005 1:55 PM

(Carma, your comment cracked me up. :) )
