May 3rd Tuesday

I had a bread class today. It was great but I worked almost all day and I am exhausted. When I came home we needed to be somewhere. So we ate quickly and headed out. We went to the church, the UVU institute choir came to perform for us. The conductor use to be in our ward, so he does a special performance for the building our ward meets in. The wards in our building are invited. It was a wonderful performance. They did dancing and singing. The whole performance was on "The Proclamation to the Family." It was incredible. I know that there performance has inspired many people. I know they have done it up at the conference center all week and they have done it for institute classes. I was extremely well done, and I am glad that I got to be a part of it. It is amazing to be inspired by such wonderful youth, they are certainly a group that lives their religion and sings every song found in the hymn book and The primary songbook because they know that what they are singing is true and you can certainly feel that.

May 2nd Monday

It is the night for Family Home Evening. My girls are gone to see their sister so they are not home. FC and I read scriptures. We are reading The New Testament. We are studying the epistle of Paul, which is pretty much the whole New Testament. Sometimes I have a hard time making out what he is trying to say. It can be a frustration for me, because I feel like I should understand. But I am sure the understanding will come as I read more.

I worked today this afternoon. I know that my brother is having a lot of trama at the BKC because he called me tonight, and we talked for a good hour. I feel for him because he has a lot to figure out right now. I just think that he needs all his employee's to work together toward a common goal, instead of being so much against each other. He will have a meeting on Thursday morning so that we can discuss things and hopefully get things worked out.

May 1st Sunday

Another miracle has happened. My husband felt inspired to go and read his scriptures last night at midnight. So he did he wandered downstairs for a minute. He found we had left some meat on the unit, it had run out of water. Truly a miracle. A good reason to read scriptures, because the Lord is trying to protect you, and make your house safe.

It was a great Sunday. I was in charge of sharing time today and it was a hard thing for me to do. I don't understand how I can do all kinds of baking classes and never become shaky or unsure of myself like I can at sharing time. I think it is probably because all these little children in our primary are so innocent and cute, and I know what I say can become an influence in their lives. I love them all and I know how important it is for me to be the right influence. I know that right now I am an instrument in the Lord's hands. I pray constantly that I will be who I need to be. We had a great dinner tonight at Jennifer's home. We had a Thanksgiving dinner, it was delicious. We invited Grandma and Grandpa C. We all enjoyed the time spent together.

April 30th Saturday

It has been an awesome day. Another miracle happened to our family. In the basement apartment the dishwasher stopped working. My husband went down and found a wire nut that was fried. So he replace the wire nut. He cut the wires and started all over. But it did not fix the dishwasher. Today my son said, "Dad I can do without a dishwasher but I can't do without a disposal." So after solving his paint gun problem and doing some painting, he headed home and to the basement to do some repair work. While he was gone I prayed that he would find the problem to the dishwasher as well as the disposal. I guess when he went downstairs, he did the same. He went to the plug on the wall that both items were connected too. He turned off the circuit breaker and checked it out. Just as he was ready to put it back he saw a little spark. He took the plug back out and completely redid it. Miracle of miracles the dishwasher and the disposal worked. If my son had not complained and the dishwasher hadn't gone out, there could have been a fire. Either from the dishwasher or from the plug. We were truly blessed, another little small thing that tells us the Lord loves us.

I got my whole house cleaned today. Mopped and scrubbed everything. My husband vacuumed everything. Then we went to the movie "True Grit". The ending wasn't what I would call good, but I enjoyed the movie as a whole. It was so nice to come home to a clean house, and to have it clean for the Sabbath day tomorrow. It is Fast Sunday tomorrow, a day I have learned to love.

April 29th Friday

I think that we could probably count this day as a Friday. CHW worked with me at the BKC today and we had a rough day. I felt bad for CHW because she made a mistake and I tried for 1 hour to rectify it. But it couldn't be rectified because the money was not in the bank because the transaction had just been done. I hope it will be taken care of tomorrow. We all make mistakes I told her, if we didn't we wouldn't be human. I know that a big mistake was made a few days ago, and that wasn't CHW's fault. We had to ship a Bosch out second day air because one of the employee's didn't ship it out a week ago. So sad because it was another mistake. The name on the transaction was BH. But he claims he doesn't remember. That ended out costing 137 dollars. Sometimes mistakes can be big, but that is the business world. Like I said I wish we were all perfect. I sold a Bosch today and a lot of other items, but CHW rang most everything up. I was a frustrating day for my husband as well. He couldn't get the paint gun to spray right. So he rolled the ceilings in the basement he is working in. I think it was just a bad day for everyone. What about you? How has your Friday been? I know someone out there had a great Friday.

April 28th Thursday

Today K&T flew to Houston to visit their sister and her husband. We had prayer with them before they left. I couldn't go because I needed to get ready for work. While I was at work KC called me from the plane, and acted a little concerned about her plane ride. I told her she would be just fine. I know my girls will have a great trip.

I sold a couple of Bosch's today and a lot of other things. I put a lot of the items I sold under AKH's name. He told me it doesn't matter any more so I figured what do you do but sell things and put them under the bosses name. So I did.

My husband and I went to the temple again today. I was so rewarding. Anytime that I go to the temple the work seems to go by so fast. I am grateful to do work for my ancestors. I feel their presents my times. It doesn't bring anything to me but pure joy and I become pretty emotional. I can't describe this wonderful experience to anyone that hasn't felt it. I just know it is an experience I wish I could share with everyone.

April 27th Wednesday

I think that the most important thing for me to do each day is to count my blessings. I don't do it often enough. I think of them and yet I don't write them down. I didn't have to work today so I spent the day cleaning. I realized that I hadn't found the key to the BKC and I needed it. But of course someone else opened yesterday so I didn't need to worry. I searched for it for about 1 hour before I left yesterday. I searched all my pants pockets that were in the dirty clothes about 4 times. I searched the laundry room, the kitchen, the office, the family room, my room and the sewing room. These are the rooms that I spend most of my time in. I searched and searched. So when I got home last night I decided I needed to say a prayer. I told my Heavenly Father that I had looked everywhere. I couldn't find it any where. After I prayed I went to search the laundry room again. I searched my pants pockets again, and the key was right there as if I had never gone through that pocket. To me that was a miracle and a blessing for me, because I know how many times I went through that pocket.

One of my counselors couldn't be to our meeting tomorrow night, so I rescheduled for tonight. Unfortunately she still didn't make it. But we had our meeting and once again had a lot of things to discuss. We even called a few more people to important callings. It was a successful meeting.
