Grateful

For the most part, I've done Prop 8 stuff with the singles ward: doing phone calls either by myself or with a friend, talking to people I randomly meet at the park about Prop 8, reading the blog and passing along news, trying to find a good quote as a pick-me-up, etc. It's been fantastic, and I respect so many folks in the ward even MORE than I did before.

But I've also cheated on my singles ward a bit--in the good way!--and spent some time doing Prop 8 stuff with my home ward. Saturday I cheated for a few hours, and I cheated for a few more hours tonight, in anticipation for some more cheating tomorrow. I've so loved working with both wards, just because there's such an incredible feeling, though a different feeling, with each one. I'm exhausted from this last month, but at the same time, I'm invigorated.

I see ordinary people doing extraordinary things; I see wonderful people taking their talents and their strengths and infusing them into this work. I see people--myself included--vastly outside their comfort zone, but doing it humbly, meekly, and prayerfully. I am incredibly grateful for these last few months, and for the strength in the people I've seen around me.
