I went in for my annual physical earlier this month. I asked Dr. Ahn to prescribe to me some kind of sleep aid to help "reset my body clock" in the hopes that I'll be able to fall asleep earlier and have more restful and uninterrupted sleep. My goal most every night is to get to bed right after the weather on the late evening news and wake up at about 6:00 in the morning. Of course, as in all best laid plans ...
Last Sunday, which was the first Sunday the Pioneer 25th Ward met at 8:00 a.m., I slept through my alarm at 6:00 a.m., but I did get up by 7:00 a.m. and was able to make it just as the congregation sang the last verse of the opening hymn ... not too bad. This morning, I woke up thinking, "Gee, that was a nice restful sleep!", but when I looked at the clock, it was 9:00 a.m.!!! I rushed to get ready and got to church in time for Relief Society. The Temple Prep teacher didn't show up too teach the class again, so apparently the young adults just went in and joined the regular Sunday School class. I feel bad for not being there. At least I'm not the only one who missed the alarm ... Sister Van Tiellen also overslept and missed sacrament meeting. Is it a companionship thing? :0) I need to make some changes in my habits ... the most important is that I need make sure that I'm home by 10:00 p.m. on Saturday nights ... at least for the next four months while the ward meets at 8:00 a.m.
We had Welfare Meeting after church and Bishop Angilau formally instructed me to teach Gospel Doctrine material to the young adults. I've never taught Gospel Doctrine before. The "doctrine" part really freaks me out, but I'm sure with enough preparation I'll be okay. I hope Brother Machon won't take offense when half of his class disappears to come to mine. I've asked for a member of the bishopric to notify him ... we'll see if that happens this week.
