I look forward to visiting New Zealand in the new system.

In just two dozen more days, it will be the Assembly!!  I wish we could have assemblies more often and CO visits more often too.  But mostly I would love more DC's to go to.  I know that would be a massive financial hardship for everyone to have more of those, but I would still love more of them.

My fever yesterday was a bit higher.  So that wasn't great as today I am super swollen.  Because i am on a little bit higher pain meds than normal, my thinking is just so slow and dull.  So I'm pretty out of it.  I really need to get some cleaning done before Colton's guest comes this weekend.  

Oh, I did round one on my closet the other day.  One large and very full garbage bag of clothes.  EO asked if I was going to give them to some sisters to go through.  I told him, not that pile. That is just the batch that is stained and worn out that I should have gotten rid of a long time ago.  I have often wondered, why do people give away their clothes when they have stains or are torn or smell moldy?  Are they too lazy to throw them away?  Do they really think someone wants to wear something that is in poor condition or have to repair?  Is it really doing anyone a favor to dump that kind of stuff on someone else?  Or perhaps there is too much sentimental attachment so they can't bring themselves to toss out so in there minds they are giving memories and not worn out clothing.  

After I did my Bible reading today, I studied for tonight, oh and I did a little letter writing.  I decided to put both March and April on my aux pioneer app.  I was hesitating, as I didn't know what I could manage.  But I realized that was totally wrong of me to do.  I should be trusting that Jehovah will help me get it done.  I guess I was thinking with how bad I have been the past few months, that I couldn't do more, and with my dulled thinking, not putting trust in Jehovah to get me through.  So the best thing is, as long as the door is open for it with 30 hours, I need to show my willingness to step through that door.    EO says he will most likely aux April, just not March.  Where Colton and Steph will aux March, but not April.  Lauren most likely will in April.  It should be a couple of wonderful months!! 

There have been a handful of times over the years, where I had missed studying my lesson for the book study.  Normally if I miss a week, I make it up the next week.  But a handful of times, I have missed a lesson and not gone back to do it, as I didn't even notice I missed it or whatever.  then one day I see the missed lesson, and i go and do it, and it happens to be just the information I needed at a very critical time.  And i know if I had studied it any other time, it wouldn't have had the impact on me that it does at that moment.  In fact I even feel that, Jehovah might have a hand in me finding that missed lesson at the time that I do.  This happened again today.  I missed a lesson last month and I found it today.  The lesson on Jehovah sending Jeremiah twice on a long journey, so as to mold Jeremiah as well as Jeremiah delivering a strong message.  I needed this today as I have been praying about if I should aux pion both months or not.  It really helped me a lot to see I was relying on myself and not on Jehovah.  Jeremiah accepted his assignments, regardless of how far he had to go, he showed his willingness.  I forgot to show mine.  Thanks to Jehovah, for the reminder.
