For the past year or so, Catherine and I have been slowly reading through mission journals together. And while mine is not as interesting or as detailed as hers, it is pretty complete in the sense that there was only one day throughout the whohttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifle two years that I didn't write, and that day was in the MTC.
Since I got home, I've never managed to keep a journal with any consistency. The lack of motivation has carried over into my blogging.
Of course, the key to my writing on the mission was that I wrote something every day. Sometimes that only amounted to a sentence or two. Other times I wrote pages. But I always wrote.
So following the example of another blog I read, I'm going to try this week to write every day. Even if I have nothing to say, I'll put something down. After all, I can always post baby pictures:
Speaking of babies, today was Elliott's blessing. The comment I heard most about her blessing afterward was "short and sweet." Which I guess means that I had a noticeable lack of things to say. But I was nervous (I hate public speaking). And besides, quality over quantity, right?

Short and sweet was true and a great compliment. You said everything that needed to be said simply and beautifully. It was one of the sweetest and nicest blessings I've heard. Well done.
I think your mission journal is very interesting. I love hearing about Elder Eric. :)
