Well, it is now Tuesday night, almost Wednesday, but I refuse to get too far behind! I must write while memories are fresh. If I remember correctly, Sunday was our stake conference. The stake presidency decided that this conference would be special in that they would try to utilize as many youth speakers as possible, and they sure succeeded. We heard from a few students from the various wards, including Charlie from our own ward. I don't remember specifics without going and looking in my notebook, but I do remember that it was really good. And my good friend Katie Pike played the organ most magnificently! It was super cool.
We got out at about five, and I found out there was also a CES fireside that night, and that President Packer would be speaking. Marcos really wanted to go to the Marriott Center, and I was about neutral in the matter, so we decided to go in person despite Marcos' leg injury (The results of a surgery to fix a torn ACL). We were nigh to exiting the Villa when we saw some friends and they thankfully gave us a ride. The fireside was, needless to say, good, and afterward we made way to head home.
The parking lot was full to capacity, so it was a long time getting out. I spotted my good friend and old fhe sister Emily Eggett in her car stuck in traffic all alone, so I hoped in with her and rode back with her.
Next was ward prayer. It was the Bishop's daughter's birthday, and our ward threw her a surprise party. It was way fun! She looked like she enjoyed it too. I just talked with Marcos, Amy, Lauren, and a few other people and ate a little but not much, and just enjoyed the company and finally feeling at home in the ward. I was invited to watch a movie at Hope's place, but I didn't end up making it. Instead, I went to someone else's apartment with Derek and a few other people from the ward showed up and we played some games.
The first game we played was Egyptian war. I don;t know why, but it seems inevitable that everyone either gives up or combines against me when we play this game. I have only been defeated two or three times in the last three to four-ish years, so I am pretty good, but everyone sure loves to not play for long with me haha. But all is well. Afterward we played signs and that was fun.
After about an hour it was late, so I left with everyone else and then walked around and said hi to Hope and a few pother people I met on the way. It was really late by now, so I went home and eventually went to bed.
