09 May 2010 – Sunday

I decided to do the sensible thing and actually make today a day of rest so my body could throw off the effects of my illness. While it was the right thing to do, it still did not feel right.

We listened to a number of Conference talks – I think I have heard President’s Uchtdorf’s talks at least three times each and perhaps more. Hopefully his talk on patience will someday get through to me. President Eyring’s talk on Diligence also rings a lot of bells – especially today when we were at home instead of out in the branches.

In the evening Elder Tueller and Elder Mohale came over to make their Mother’s Day calls home. Cindy called and managed to get through to Mary. Later we found that other children called and left messages but we have not figured out how to retrieve them yet.

By the end of the day I was really bored – I do not think I will take any more days off unless I am really, really sick.

Read in the Mickelsen’s blog that Elder Mickelsen had thrown out his back. I called to see how he was doing and found that they also stayed home. Hopefully he will fully recover before they leave a week from tomorrow.
