A welcome change
This morning started off pretty crappy-like for me. I woke up and my throat was killing me, then a few minutes later I started to get a headache. Both of these were probably from my allergies and eventually went away. On top of that, though, was my super-tiredness, and as a result, I was just grouchy and cranky with my guys for most of the morning.
At the Young Men's activity, for the big meeting, I was part of a quintet that sang "Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy." As we were singing, the Spirit began to soften my heart a bit and my crankiness subsided. As the day went on, and I moved on to musical program practice, the day got better and better as I began feeling the Spirit more and more strongly. After our lunchtime musical program practice, when I met up with our company for the variety show, I pulled my guys aside and apologized to them for being so grouchy earlier. Just like a small child or a puppy, they all forgave me instantly! I love my group!
Tonight at the musical program... O-double M-G!!! It was GREAT!!! Everything went even better than I'd hoped! The Spirit was super strong, and one of the guys in my group even told me that part of it moved him to tears! Doing the musical program was an interesting change of pace for me. Although it used up most of my time during the week, the time was definitely well-spent!
I'm so glad that I get to work EFY this summer. Since this is the last time I'll be able to be a counselor, I'm doing all I can to make the most of it and help the youth with the best of my ability. So far, I feel fairly confident that I'm succeeding, and I've definitely felt the Spirit help me out with it. I look forward to the rest of the summer!
Until next time,

Trenton R. Foust Memorial Quote of the Day:
Reed: We have to keep the Law of Chastity until we're married.
Me: You still have to keep it once you're married.
Reed: But I thought it was okay after you're married.
Me: It's never okay to break the Law of Chastity.
A few seconds later (as this conversation continued, Reed said something about not knowing how you'd break the Law of Chastity after marriage)
Josh: It's called the Internet!
