A Dissapointing Weekend

I guess this weekend was doomed from the start. Basically was cursed when we had the time change. Although going to the temple with family was a good part of the weekend. With all of its wonderful sitting and reading the scriptures. The wonderful outing made me wake up 4 hours earlier then I am use to on Saturdays. Saturday itself was not that bad, it could of been better if I wasn't feeling so depressed all day and maybe would of actually gone out and done something with some friends. That was my basic Saturday.

Sunday is a whole different story! Already tired from waking up early on Saturday, and added on top of that the time change, I naturally woke up a little late. Then I had the stress of teaching a lesson in teacher's quorum, of course who else would have it. My lesson was on the restoration of the church. Most would think easy, but I actually wanted to teach something knew that somebody could learn from. So I went through the lesson and read through and tried to write stuff that stuck out to me. Really, I think, I got quite a bit of good information. I just never actually thought up a way to present my information to the actual teaching of the lesson itself was poor. Now that I have gotten trough a dissapointing lesson and of course you have the usual encouraging leaders telling you it was a good lesson out of sympathy; I get to look forward to practicing with Gloria Bowden because I was going to accompany her for her solo next Sunday. The song didn't seem to difficult when I played it but my downfall was not listening to it more online. When I heard her actually sing it and I tried to play it with the celloist, I failed. In the end I decided to tell them, after they asked of course, they should find a new accomapinists so they can actually do what they practiced. So over all it had been a dissapointing day. After that I go downstairs to try and distract myself by watching a stupid movie like My Big Greek Wedding. Near the end of the movie I dozed off, more like I feel into a deep deep deep deep sleep. This is when I caught up those 4 hours I missed the Saturday before, the one problem is now I was going to have a hard time falling asleep when I needed to. My weekend just seemed like one big dissapointment and I hope I have a better weekend this week. Oh well here's my self pitying post :3!

Jon is "JONLY"

Real quick, to explain the post title, me and a friend decided there is no word better to describe me then jonly.

I am officially jonly though, only Jon would have so much fun doing a book project. Well then again, it is a fun project. All I have to do is draw a picture for all the main characters with a poem and make it into a bound book. Who would have ever thought trying to draw what you think the people off a book would look like.

When logging onto facebook I realized I had a message, which doesn't happen very often, so of course I went ahead and opened it. The message was a question from a lady in our ward named Gloria Bowden. She was asking me whether I wanted to accompany her on a song with a cello player. At first was very concerned thinking, I have never played with another instrument before. In the end I told her I would do it! Best part yet, the date I will be playing for her is on my birthday, haha. Sadly my birthday is on a sunday this year, but it'll be fun to perform on my birthday. It is a great way to start out being 16! I'm starting to get welll known for my piano playing and I have a good feeling I'll be playing alot through high school. My goal should be that by the time I'm a senior I can play some amazing piece in an assembly. What a dream come true. As for my book it is coming along. I have actually written around 9 chapters, 7 chapters that are ordered the other 2 I'm not sure where i'm going to put.

As a side note; I have been seriously thinking about the stake challenge and wondering what commandment I need to work on a lot. I have come to the conclusion it is one of two. Either to keep all my thoughts pure or love thine enemy. Got to go!
