FHE--February 1, 2016

I didn't want to give it away in the title but no apple pie. And he was 1.5 hours late but that was okay. We worked it out. But everyone was exhausted for some reason. There is always a debate how many verses to sing in the song. We get along well but there are a lot of strong personalities in the group. David always insists on all of them, so we sing all of them, but Bergen always mentions she just wants to sing one. I had the lesson and I made it short. I showed pictures of Grandpa Hansen and  the USS Pennsylvania and told them where the picture was taken (headed into battle in the Philippines) and what mom and I had read about his battles in the Philippines from his history book. Then I showed a video from President Monson about the Bismark battleship. Sometimes my rudder gets hit and I feel like I am going in circles. Sometimes Satan is working on me and sometimes it is just my own pride. But I know that if we keep in constant communication with the Lord and truly strive to follow His will that we will be unsinkable. Our office friend loves to be in charge of the game and none of us were feeling it tonight.... But we played one of his Filipino games. This one had something to do with a chorister and singing fruit names. Sometimes we all purposefully try to lose. I don't know if I was relieved of disappointed about the apple pie. Filipinos tend to mess American food up. Heck, they probably put rice in their pies.
