Weight Loss, Speech/Song Practice and Helping Someone else

This has been a busy day, but a wonderful day. It started out this morning with going to my weigh in. I wasn't expecting to lose much, but when I weighed it said I lost 1.4 pound. I asked was she sure. She said I could get back on there and see and I did. It was right. Yeah! So now I a up to a loss of 110.8 or something close to that.
Then we went to Carla's for the girls to practice there speeches and song for Lads to Leaders/Leaderettes. Our girls are doing so well. I am so proud of Mary Elizabeth. She has done alot better than I thought she would. Since she doesn't like to speak to people or in front of alot of people, I thought she woud either not do it or speak really low. No! She didn't. She got up there and said it loud enough for everyone to hear her and she lead her song and did her speech. Now all we have to do is try to memorize her speech and work on doing two verses of her song. I think she will do great. I tell her all the time it doesn't matter if she wins or not as long as she gets up there and does her best. It is just for the fun and spreading of God's word. She agrees with me. Also in two weeks she will be in her schools pageant and she is doing it as well for the fun and hopefully both of these events will help her come out of her shyness. I sure hope so, since I am still like that and don't like to talk in front of alot of people.
Then the girls met up at our house with the guys and went to a family from Corner who about 2 weeks ago lost their home to fire. We all went as a group to deliver alot of items our boys and girls and other members of the congregation collected for them. They sure seemed to really appreciate it since they lost everything and are now looking for a new place to live.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this wonderful effort to help someone who really needs the help. Also thank you to all the kids for putting in the effort to do their best when we go to L2L in Nashville.
