"Divine blessings are activated by our diligent efforts."
If you want or need a blessing in your life are you putting forth the effort to receive that blessing?
My visiting teachers, Alicia Hunsaker and Linda Price, were a little late coming this morning. They were suppose to be here at 9:15 but it was more like 9:45. Alicia gave me a cupcake and Linda a homemade potholder and an electronic air freshener. I brought out the box of toys for Colter who is Alicia's 3 year old son, which made him very happy. My Young Women's presidency meeting was schedule for 10am and Natalie Soderquist arrived right on time. She joined in our discussion and then we said our goodbyes to Linda, Alicia, and Colter. (Colter is the cutest little boy with gorgeous blue eyes!)
Tina Allen, who is the young women's secretary, works at Show Low high school as the pom & cheer coach. She missed our meeting this morning. We no longer have a 2nd counselor so that was our first item of business. Natalie is going to turn in a name to the bishopric this week. Natalie will be out of town this week so I am teaching again. Also I was given a couple of assignments that really should belong to the secretary so I am assuming Tina is so overwhelmed with her school job she is finding it difficult to do her Church calling. That's fine. I am glad to help. Our young women's activity this week is swimming at Fools Hollow Lake. The men say there is no food involved but Natalie and I think the kids are going to be hungry. Our plan is to bring hot chocolate, we think they are going to be cold too, cookies, and stop at Little Caesars on the way in to town for pizza.
After presidency meeting James and I had lunch and then it was rest time. James laid down on the bed
and I reclined on my favorite couch spot and put "Cupcake Wars" on. I had a nice nap.
At 3pm I went with James to visit Brother and Sister Peeler. He is their home teacher and his partner couldn't go with him. The Peeler's are an older couple in the ward. Brother Peeler is the stake Sunday School president and Sister Peeler is the chorister in Relief Society. The message is on service. I enjoyed hearing James tell about some of his experiences serving within the Church and I also enjoyed Brother Peeler's story of being the Explorer advisor and taking his Explorer's out on the desert to teach them to drive.
For FHE we wanted to watch the Republican Convention but it was postponed because of Hurricane Isaac. We watched a show on BYUTV about Anne of Green Gables.
