Thursday, April 2nd, 2026: Mail notes to Sheri for Alex, Walmart, Taco Bell, China Buffet, Call from JoNell - our check is in - Yay!, 10 Talks for a bad day

 

Freiberg, Germany
Temple #33


Today we received some great financial news. We went into town to mail the handwritten notes we wrote to Alex for his birthday. We mailed them to Sheri and then she will mail them to Jazmin in Hawaii so she can put them in a book and bring them to the party on the 16th. It should be a nice surprise for him.

After mailing the notes, we went to Walmart to pick up a few items I forgot yesterday, including a big bag of cat food. After leaving Walmart we went through Taco Bell where I got my chicken cantina soft taco and James got a crunch wrap. In the same parking lot we drove up to China Buffet where James went in to buy a quart of hot and sour soup to take home. I got a phone call from JoNell from Tom Thompson's law firm. She said our check had come in and did I want her to mail it to me. I told her we were coming down next Wednesday and we would come by and pick it up. She was glad, she says she doesn't trust the mail anymore. When James came out I told him the news and he asked how much the check was for. I said I didn't know but I expected it would be for $50,000. We were both curious so I texted JoNell. She texted back and said the check was for $100,000 and that we would owe the law firm $2,000. James and I were elated and so grateful! The Lord really is watching over us.

Kim sent out a family text around 1:20 today saying that she and Brian were at the Easter Pageant and did anyone else want them to save seats. They go at 1:00 every year and the pageant doesn't start until 6 or 7. Now that's dedication!

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
