Hey there!
How's my favorite missionary? I hope things are going well for you!
So, I had an awesome experience today, maybe not awesome, but it was eye opening. We arrived at church on time. I even got the numbers for the song up on the board. I went over and turned the page on the hymnal for the first song. I then went and sat down with dad and gpa. No biggy right?? Well, it was time for the first song, the organist began playing and I walked up front. The song started and I looked down and realized that I was on the WRONG page! Well, I kept leading with the one hand and trying to get on the right page with the other. I finally got to the right page, but I could not find where we were…I just kept leading. I found the spot and continued to the end. I sat down while they did all the ward business. Then I lead the song for Sacrament. As I was contemplating the sacrament and all of my blessings while they passed it, I realized that I had a major issue with opening song…I handled it without a problem…I even was able to lead the sacrament hymn. It dawned on me that I did not panic. In fact, it was no big deal. I realized that the Lord really does answer our prayers! I wanted to shout for joy. I stayed up on the stand while Brother Mitchell bore his testimony (I knew if I had got down to sit, I would never get back up). I was the first person to bare testimony after Bro. Mitchell. I am so grateful that there are truly "tender mercies" from the Lord! I am so grateful that he LOVES me and is aware of me! I know that all of my issues didn't just fade away…but I have the strength to keep putting one foot in front of the other!
On to the everyday life…Gpa went to the heart dr on Tuesday. He has an enlarged aorta…which could mean an abdominal aneuryms. Basically, it is where the walls of the aorta become weakened and sort of balloon out. They don't seem extremely worried about it…just something to watch. We will have to do another CT scan, but I believe he will be fine!
Ryan is still struggling. I believe we are on the right track with the meds, but I believe he needs to increase it. He failed his practicals. He needs to do remediation, but it is totally freaking him out! Then Siera is on "sensory overload". She is not wearing Ryan's ring yet, but her mom is like a freight train going all bat crazy over wedding plans. I went over to see her wedding dress (which is BEAUTIFUL--Ryan will be blown away!) After seeing the dress, Siera's mom started telling me all about HER plans for the reception. Poor Siera said "I'm going to be weddinged out before I even get officially engaged". I wish I could help her.
So, we are turning your old bedroom into a "Guest room". All of your stuff will be completely boxed up and in the basement. We are on a mission this week, to PURGE the house. I just want to simplify. I believe this is the answer! Lucky for me, dad is at home and he can help me! I think he is finally on board with what I want to do. I am even going to get rid of a lot of my Christmas stuff. I just can't keep up any longer.
Well, I really didn't get any pictures this week, so you get go go without…sorry!
Well, mind your p's and q's. Always remember who you are! Be strictly obedient. And most importantly, remember that I will ALWAYS love you!!
Love Always,
Mom
