The Sunday Post - Issue #15

Aye, I know it has been a while for "The Sunday Post" but there just wasn't much to write or say from my eyes perspective.  Until now.

So my normal church block is from 11:00am to 2:00pm.  Glorious time, I absolutely love it.  Today was a different story.  Today we had to meet at 1:00pm to 4:00pm.  *insertgrumpyface*  Not my ideal time frame at all.  The reason behind our time shift was because another stake was having their stake conference, thus they hogged our normal time slot, which in turn slightly inconvenienced me but also helped me.  Now how in the heck did it help me you ask, well because I had more time to practice my talk.

That's right.  My talk.  I had to speak in church today.  Let me rephrase that, I chose to speak today.

Funny thing about today though was the fact that upon getting to church early the lights were off in our chapel.  And they weren't coming on.  Apparently for some reason the lights in the whole building went out after the stake conference and well yeah.  We kept the side doors open, so the only light came in from one side or from your cell phone.  We started sacrament meeting, we sang a hymn, conducted some ward business, sang the sacrament hymn, passed the sacrament, had speaker number one talk, all without the lights.  They flickered on when speaker number two got up to speak and they stayed on.  Then we all sang another hymn and I gave my talk.  Interesting to say the least.

We had our linger longer today and it was combined with another ward.  As I started typing this I thought that we should do more combined linger longers, was definitely better that's for sure.  I even got a females phone number.  She's cute, we'll see if there is anything there worth pursuing.

So in other news, since I've been home from my mission, I think I've been on a total of two dates.  That is TWO dates in FOUR years.  If my calculations are correct.  I would of had been on more but being rejected, given a fake number, having them say yes and then flake on you, or the fact they are already dating someone, plays a large role into that factor.  Sad thing is that both dates I had were within this last year and one of them I knew wasn't going to go anywhere.  So, hooray?  Hahaha.

My sister is right though, I'm a good guy, I'm a gentleman.  She said I should start being a jerk to girls that way they will all flock to me because they all love that type of guy.  There is some truth to it.  But I don't want to have to be someone I'm not.  If someone cannot accept who I am then they are not worth my time.  Nice guys finish last, in my case looks like I've been disqualified from the race.  I don't even get to finish last.

There are some future possible prospects.  But I'm running out of those.  Just trying to keep a positive outlook and trust in my faith in God.  It's hard being my age, still single, and it doesn't help that I live with people who don't go to church.  It has definitely been taking its toll on me.  I try to keep wearing a smile on my face though.  It can be tough though, that's for sure.

I'm excited for tomorrow though, we are going to Temple Square as a stake.  Hopefully I can talk to a few girls I've been wanting to talk to.  Plus I hope I can get some good pictures while I'm there.
