For the past couple of months I have been trying to get people to let me babysit for them while they go to the temple for my Personal Progress. Ten hours of free tending. Nobody called! It was discouraging. Then
Sunday Sister B asked me to watch her 8 month old daughter while while she and her husband went to the temple on Thursday. I was estatic! So when I got home from school on Thursday getting ready to go I found out somebody else wanted me to babysit on Saturday!! YES! It was all of a sudden happening. Maybe my project would get done!
While babysitting a lady brought over dinner for Sister B. Now she wants to me to watch her eighteen month old next week. Counting the hours on my fingers I realized I will most likely have enough hours (I had watched for an hour about 2 weeks previously).
Right when I get home from the babysitting job the phone rings. IT’S ANOTHER BABYSITTING REQUEST!!!
I’m so happy right now. But it seems like it’s all hitting me really, Really REALLY FAST! However, it all seems a little daunting. This is going to be really fast and excruciating. Okay, maybe not that bad.
Also, I was dreading going to school this week. It looked like it would take forever. I never thought I would get to Friday. Well look, I’m here. And I’m ready for this weekend. Luckily I just have to listen to Conference on Sunday!!
Oh shoot, I have to memorize a two minute conversation in Spanish for tomorrow
. Wish me LOTS of luck
Free babysitting?! Wow! do you have to do community service for school or something?
It’s for my Personal Progress in church
I think it was really neat for you to offer to babysit while people took care of church assignments. I remember how costly it could get.
