as the spirit dictates, and then a mountain of crap

so i finally have an official last day in the marines, oct 26. my last working day is next Friday. one week. all my exams are done too, all papers have been filled out. my mission papers are headed to the stake. so im out of the marines, and all documentation is being prepared for leaving. on a great night of handing over the papers, once again, this is only a night i share it with myself and the savior. i sealed an anointing on one of the boys in YM, who is on the high school wresting team. i know he's a good kid, he's the bishops grandson. he has good influences in his life but once again the wonderful way the blessings work. by faith and obeying of commandments. i just have faith his injury will be healed soon. its all very humbling.


but my night was a tale of 2 nights,
i told the activities chairman a few weeks ago that i would help with a Halloween trick r treating thing that has become a tradition here. the activities chairman caught me before i saw the bishop, he asked if i was going to be in the meeting for this committee to HELP. he told me that they were gonna meet after mutual. i said "sure of course."expecting a group of adults or kids old enough to organize or be beneficial to really contripute, right?
i soon realized that i was not just helping, i was in charge of this event. oh yeah and the committee consisted of me and the activities chairman who soon left it to me, two 11 year old girls, one had some type of mental disability, and a 12 year old boy who was beyond hyper. i'll have to give the kids credit they had wonderful ideas for a haunted house, but guess what the budget of this event is? yup you guessed it 0 dollars and 0 cents. so this meeting consisted of the hyper active boy yelling his ideas, the mentally handicap girl talking about some boy she likes and how shes going to scare him the night of the haunted house, and the other girl wanting to just go home. while the activities chairman praised the children for being really creative(in which they were) but at the same time nothing was getting accomplished but random ideas. the only real thing that was getting accomplished was me sitting there saying to myself "how did i get suckered into this? how is it possible to actually get all this resolved in 10 days?" oh yeah not to mention i have 10 days to get all my work done to check out of the marines. somehow it will work out. i need to pray a ton or something, its gonna take a miracle!

i dont know why i get so alone here. but i really have no talks to me in a tone that we both are understood
