There Goes August...

I was looking at my blog and realised that I have not yet written a post in August, and I felt bad about that. I had really wanted this to be a regular thing, but then I started spending less time on the computer, so I didn't have the time and oppurtunity to blog...

Well I did get to be an EFY counselor after all, but only for one week. It was a pretty neat experience. It was cool to watch as other people decided to change and were able to grow in their testimony and build friendships and know that in a small way I was able to contribute to that. I even had the oppurtunity to give a couple of blessings while I was there, and in both cases the person made a full recovery, one immediately after the blessing.

My dad, after many ups and downs is finally on the transplant list. Very close to the top too. He could get called in any day for the transplant, so that is pretty cool.

My mother is closing her store, which I think is great. Working there has been hard on me, partly becuase with a normal job I don't take any stress home with me becuase I don't actually care about my employers, but in this job it is a little different. I will be glad when I can say goodbye to the stress of working there. I would not reccomend working regular hours with ones family, it just makes a job too stressful...

I don't really have much else to report, except that I just finished Order of the Phoenix, and while I initially thought it was the worst book in the series, I like it more every time I read it. I love the political aspect in the book, and Umbridge is one of my favourite people to hate in the books. I like her character becuase she reminds me 0f some real life politicians. *deletes his next moment becuase of spoilers, and my sister just started reading the books*

Well I think that is all... I would post another writing excercise if I had my notebook with me, but I don't... You will have to wait until next time...
