Friday!

Today was a good Friday!

Remember the investigator, Morgana?  I volunteered to read scriptures with her.  It was her idea to do it early in the morning.  We decided on 6:30 in the morning.  I exercised, showered, and then went back into the garage with my scriptures this morning, waiting to give her a call.  At exactly 6:30 on the dot, she texted me!  She is so dedicated!  I called her and we read 1st Nephi chapters 3 and 4 together.  I don't know how long this will last...I don't know if I can do this every morning at 6:30, but how can I turn her down?  I had been feeling guilty about not serving a mission, this opportunity with Morgana fell into my lap.  I believe that Heavenly Father made our relationship happen so that I can help her learn the gospel.  I'm not perfect and I don't have a perfect knowledge of the gospel...but I will do whatever I can to help her.  Even if it means reading the scriptures every day with her at 6:30 in the morning.

Today, we did school.  William listened to whole Goosebumps Book that we checked out of the library.  Mason read a Goosebumps Book.  Bryce read a book on his kindle/tablet.  Lizzie had a little get-together tonight with a few girls from church.  They ate pizza, watermelon, and cookies.  They played outdoor games and talked.  I think (and hope) that Lizzie had a good time.

William's Book (He pretends to read...he is as as obsessed with Goosebumps Books as Mason):


Caitlyn played with Playdough today!


I took Caitlyn's sponge curlers out of her hair this morning.  Her hair was so curly!  I thought she looked so beautiful!  She looks beautiful no matter what.  She was so shocked at the sight of her curly hair that she was embarrassed and she ran around the house screaming, ha ha.



Lizzie's hair did not turn out as curly as Caitlyn's, ha ha.







Tomorrow is another busy day!

2021 Summary

 2021...What a year! Some Highlights: I read the Book of Mormon 4 times this year (one time I finished in 29 days!) We studied the Doctrine and Covenants for Come follow Me! Lizzie Started Highschool (and seminary)! William started Kindergarten! I got depressed being home without the kids...so I got my first job in 14 years! I was called to be the ward Young Women President in January. Jon is still serving in the Bishopric, this year as the 2nd Counselor. Bryce was ordained to the office of a Deacon and serves as the Deacon Quorum President. Jon broke his foot in March and had to have surgery. Our fruit trees produced no fruit this year, which was sad. Lizzie was extremely sick for about 2 months.  She had ovarian cysts, major constipation, and valley fever! We had the opportunity to listen to two General Conferences, which are my favorite holiday's. We went to Last Vegas after Christmas 2020, we went to Utah for Kynzlee's baptism, we went to Utah for the 4th of July holiday, ...

Feeling Awful

 I feel awful about something that I did today.  Well, something that I DIDN'T do.  I feel like the worst person in the world.  I feel like horrible.  I was prompted to do something and I ignored the prompting.  It's eating me up. It's short, so I'll explain it here. I went to Relief Society today.  The first time in about three years.  I sat with Jon's Mom.  I noticed a girl sitting in front of me who was sitting alone.  I chatted with her.  I had the thought to sit next to her so she wouldn't have to sit alone, but I didn't feel like I could leave Sandy.  I didn't want to make Sandy feel bad by leaving her so I ignored the prompting.  Then I went and accompanied a song on the piano.  While I was playing I had the thought, again, that I needed to sit next to this girl.  I decided that I would sit next to her on my way back instead of sitting next to Sandy.  However, as I walked back, someone else was sittin...

The Last of the Spring Break, 2019 Posts

It's been a long 2 weeks!  It's been so wonderful though and I am really not ready for the kids to go back to school tomorrow.  I love having them home and I love having our freedom and no real responsibilities.  Summer couldn't come soon enough! We found out this week that Grandpa Duncan had a stroke.  We were all so sad.  We all fasted for him and have been praying every day for his recovery.  Even 7-year-old Mason, who has never fasted before, wanted to fast for Grandpa.  He dd so well and I was so proud of him!  We can hardly wait until June when we can visit Nana and Grandpa in person. I didn't realize it, but one of the days this week I did Walmart Pick-up (where I order things on-line and then the worker brings the groceries out to my car) and accidentally ordered A TON of these chocolate eggs!  They truly are the best chocolate egg in the world, so I'm not really complaining...but what in the world are we going to do with the...
