I studied from the Book of Mormon today, finished all the General Conference Ensign, including the Relief Society talks, and read from this month's New Era and Ensign.  At 10:00am I visited with Rosie Lauritzen.  Rosie is a fourth grade school teacher at Nikolaus Elementary school in Show Low.  She is home on spring break this week.  She was sitting on the couch reading, wrapped in a blanket with her cat Obsidian who is better known as Sid, when I arrived.  Rosie is such a fun person to visit.  She is spiritual, fun-loving, and easy to talk to.  The message this month is on activation and we talked about the importance of loving and accepting everyone.  It was a good visit.  I didn't stay long because I wanted her to be able to get back to enjoying her book and her spring break.  Rosie's husband Rick is our ward executive secretary.  He also works in the temple on Tuesdays.  He is a marriage counselor in Show Low.  Rick is from Oregon but has recently lived in the valley.  He says they moved up here to get out of the oven. 

It is cool and windy outside.  On the way home I stopped at the post office and mailed some of the bills I paid yesterday.  Since I am still not feeling very well I went home and had some chicken with rice soup and curled up on the couch to watch "Once Upon a Time."  I fell asleep. 

James called.  He is upset because he did not pass inspection.  The inspection was for pouring concrete at Zaki's.  He says he has to pass so he can pour on Friday.  He needs to get this pour done so we can get paid.  I told him I would say a prayer for him.  I don't think he expects me to solve his problems but he wants someone to talk to and he wants to know that I care.  I do.  I appreciate so much how hard he works for us.
