A Very Busy Sunday … and a Picture for April 25, 2010

Sundays come in two flavors for me at present: busy and very busy. The first and third Sundays are generally in the “busy” category and the second, fourth, and fifth Sundays are in the “very busy” grouping. April 24th was a fourth Sunday and that meant a very busy day.

They are, however, also fun and interesting days. On this particular Sunday I was assigned to speak in a Sacrament Meeting that started at 2:50 p.m. and talk about the subject of consecration. Then later that afternoon at 6 p.m. I was in charge of a meeting to include representatives from the ten Wards (or congregations) in our area. In that meeting we are planning a preparedness fair which will be held on October 9th. The planning has gotten a pretty good start and we should have an event that’ll be of interest to people living here in the south end of Pocatello.

The day started with a meeting at 7 a.m., another set of meetings at 9 a.m., a Sacrament Meeting at 11 a.m., a Sunday School at 12:20 a.m., and then the speaking assignment at 2:50 p.m. and the preparedness meeting at 6 p.m.

Then at 8:00 p.m. and again at 8:30 p.m. I have two meetings on the air waves. The first is a meeting on the ham radio with the Pocatello Amateur Radio Club followed by another ham radio meeting with the Portneuf Valley Amateur Radio Emergency Services club. By the end of the day, I’m right ready to head for bed.

TTFN!
