Masterpeice Theater on PBS is currently showing Complete Jane Austen. To say that every Sunday evening I am in a blissful place is the understatement of the year. Next week they'll be showing Mansfield Park and guess who is the star!? Rose from Dr. Who!! Now, if possible, I'm doubly excited for next Sunday.

Chris and I gave our "China" presentation tonight. It went really well. I felt calm and collected and was able to speak smoothly without too many "umms." We only had about 12 people there but that was just perfect. Also, they felt comfortable asking questions and we had a great Q&A session. One church lady came up to me afterwards and asked if we'd be willing to speak to the Stake single adults. So, we may have another speaking engagement coming up soon. We shall see. It was really good for me to do this because it gave me a chance to look for the good in my China experience. I was able to think about and search for the blessings that I got out of living there.

We've been having a lot (and I mean a WAY lot) of sibling rivalry lately. I hate it. I need to figure out a way to lessen it.

Crap... I was just watching one of those Jane A. pieces last night, and I can't remember which one it was. I fell asleep. Ah well.

I will say that the majority of the time, I enjoy those.

Maybe y'all could become inspirational speakers on the side. And I'm sure you didn't say "um" that much. I tried to count how many times one of my sunday school teachers said it and I lost count at about 40.

YAY! Sorry that I couldn't think of anything in particular to remind you about. I just thought your entire experience was absolutely amazing.

I'm so excited that your talk went well. I would love to have sat in on the talk.

I totally forgot about the Jane Austen thing! I really wanted to watch last night's show. I just completely forgot about it. I love Rose from Dr. Who. Remind me about next Sunday okay?
