And Life Hits Back...

February 16, 2002

Started the day on the wrong side of the bed. I was just grumpy, and I was not concentrating, and I was an overall butt. I feel so lost here at times...like I can't find my bearings within this cramped six-story apartment complex. They fit five-hundred missionaries in here at a time, not to mention support staff, kitchen, auditorium, outdoor courts, and a garden area, but I still feel alone and out of touch at times. Like I said, wrong side of the bed.

But by the end of the day, I regained the Spirit. It's amazing how much that difference in my life can be right now. It's like cold and hot, wet & dry, darkness & light. The hardest thing about the Holy Ghost is when you have it, you wonder why you didn't before; and when you lose it, you wonder if you ever had it to begin with.

I was super selfish today: moody, quiet, but my companion, excitable as he is, stayed with me. I appreciate that a lot. I can see now why this is such good practice for marriage. Although, to be honest, I'm really hoping that my wife will be a little more attractive than Elder Clark!

Feeling good right now. Sweaty, tired, and little sick of the schedule already, but good. Always work hard, E. Vogeler, and when the tough times come round, just remember: "This too shall pass."

Just not as soon as I'd like sometimes.
