Close to *Perfect*

Last week I had a goal to go to the temple every day (except Monday cause it's closed) I went Tuesday, twice on Wednesday, and Thursday. I didn't go Friday or Saturday. So my challenge of the week wasn't completed. But I feel great about going. By the end of the week I was exhausted! I worked Monday-Monday. That's right, I worked Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday (yesterday). Today is FINALLY my day off. Wahoo!
Today has been an incredible day! I know, it's only 10:45AM and I have been very productive. I woke up at 6:29AM, Prayed, took my dad to work (in Spanish Fork) it's a 30 minute drive. 30 to get there and 30 on the way back. As I was driving home I listened to upbeat church music (my favorite!)
As I was listening to the words I got a feeling to go the the temple. So when I got home I got ready and headed to the temple. It was incredible!! I did confirmations and then baptisms. The brother there asked me if I could to 20 names. I happily said, 'yes'. Afterwards, I asked if we could do more (no one was waiting and i'm already there...so why not?) They said, 'of course!' I did 5 more names. Then, he asked, "How are you holding up sister?" I said, "great!" He then asked if I wanted to do more names. I said, "yes!" We continued that process till we were all satisfied with the number of baptisms. 
The brother there shook my hand and said, "out of my four years here, I have never had anyone do so many names. You are our new record."
It has been an incredible day :)
