I had the privilege of teaching the Easter lesson this Sunday. I taught on the Savoir's last week on earth. I hid Easter eggs all over the room with scpritures on Christ inside them. The girls loved the Easter egg hunt because their parents say they are too old for egg hunts. 
Sunday's are hard sometimes. I caught my self crying during sacrament today. well, because I have no friends. About a year ago our Ward was dissolved. I had a lot of friends at church, some who have become my best friends. My good friend Jenni who lives a block away and was really my only friend in the ward, moved across town yesterday. Another family I am friends with is moving as well. Church is the hardest place to make friends. I feel like because I don't have kids, and I'm not a newly wed, I don't fit in with any of the groups. The people my age have a million kids, and the couples without kids are kids themselves and just got married like last week, and no one has really wanted to be my friend since the ward Change. So I just go, take the sacrament, teach my class, and go home. I have found myself crying a few times in sacrament because of this situation. In my gun club it has been so easy to make friends with all the ladies because I feel like I can connect better with them and we have a hobby in common. My hobby at church is definitely not baby making. I think for some people church is one of the hardest places to make friends. Honestly, I know our main reason is to be there to take the sacrament and and learn and that is why I go. But, maybe Someone acknowledging me would make my day as well.
Chris will NEVER take a Nice picture with me, it's mostly frustrating but also kinda cute. 
I then ended the night with some Hulu, detox tea, and cuddles with the pups. Yay for Monday!

ReplyDeleteYou are not alone in your friendlessness. It is nothing against you. I love my branch members but don't really have any "friends" in my branch or even in this country. I have had to work on my personal development and learn to be content with myself. My friend in Utah has gone through the same thing and her tears break my heart as well.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about the treats you made and sent home with Hazel and her telling me about your Easter lesson (which she never does) and thinking- I've GOT to tell Alyssa how much I appreciate all she does for my daughter and all the young women! I'm sorry I'm so delayed in telling you but I really do appreciate all your efforts! I'm sorry I haven't gotten to know you better. With you in YW and me in RS I rarely even see you!, but I think your darling! I love your lipstick and you always have cute hair that I'm jealous of 😊 I have gotten to know a lot of the 3rd ward ladies just from visiting teaching and going to the RS activities. Wanna come with me to the next activity? April 20th we're learning how to make noodles!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sara so much, you are so sweet. I am glad that Hazel liked my lesson! She is a great girl and I really love spending time with her! I won't be able to attend the RS activity, they are always on conflicting nights for me. On the nights they do the activities I have a Ladies League Shooting competition that I am in charge of putting together that I can't miss. I appreciate your offer though, thank you!!
