martin gets confirmed.

martin gets baptized.

i go to the temple for my temple shift and for my elders quorum temple trip.

for the first time, the manhattan temple initiatory is manned completely by an elders quorum: bremen, clay, richard, ryan, stephen, and i.

to celebrate, we eat together after.

exodus 40:12-13

martin invites me to be a witness at his baptism.

it will be an honor for me to be a witness at the baptism of a brother who is so like christ.

2 nephi 31:6-8

my counselors and i arrive on time for ward welfare. i'm pleased with and proud of us.

i announce needs meeting sunday and not-yet-mother's day in sacrament meeting.

i eat, nap, and dessert at the frandsen's all afternoon.

i visit and meet needs all evening.

i find love and make a profit on the stake singles love boat.

i compile needs meeting adventures until 3:33 in the morning.

in the end, even the weakest part of the needs meeting vineyard did well.

i walk in the rain to the apartment of some sisters who have yet to be visited. i leave them a message, a note, and a treat.

what was once the center of needs meeting strength in our ward is now the center of needs meeting weakness.

and i'm unsure what more i can do. any ideas?
