Oct 2019 General Conference
"Covenant Women in Partnership with God"
President Henry B. Eyring
"In the same way that you prepare to minister, you can and must prepare for your call to be a leader for the Lord when it comes. It will require faith in Jesus Christ, rooted in your deep love of the scriptures, to lead people and to teach His word without fear. Then you will be prepared to have the Holy Ghost as your constant companion. You will be eager to say, 'I will,' when your counselor in the Young Women presidency says, with panic in her voice, 'Sister Alvarez is sick today. Who will teach her class?'"

I was up at 5 and when I looked outside there was a herd of elk grazing in our yard. Of course I had to tell James and he immediately jumped out of bed to "check it out." 

I read in the Ensign today an article by Bishop Causse', "Follow the Path of Happiness." Here is a question I am asking myself:
How will I draw on the Savior's Power as I seek to follow His plan of Happiness?

It is 8 a.m. and it is 14 degrees. Brrr! 

James works downstairs rebuilding the broken shelves in the years supply closet. I am at the dining room table working on preparing a book shipment. I also did one blog post. At this rate it will take me until next year to catch up. 

We went into town today to send the shipment of books I prepared. We also did shopping at Walmart, Home Depot, Harbor Freight, and Ross. We stopped at the China Wok Buffet and picked up some hot and sour soup. I love this soup on a cold day.

This evening we hung the garland on the mantel and the grandkids stockings. Thank goodness for James as he did most of the hanging and he didn't fall once!

We also worked on signing Christmas cards and watched two Christmas movies: 
 Lifetime: "Always and Forever Christmas" - Marketing exec Lucy learns that she's inherited her grandfather's year round Christmas store.
Hallmark: "A Cheerful Christmas" - As a Christmas coach, Lauren provides her clients with their most magical Christmas ever.




Where is Lola?



 She climbed on the table and then heard her
favorite Christmas song, "Jingle Bells", and
started dancing.

Congratulations Evan!


 


Show Low Stake President,
and a great guy!

General Conference
Missionary Work: Sharing What Is in Your Heart
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
"Five Simple Suggestions for Missionary Work:
First, draw close to God.
Second, fill your heart with love for others.
Third, strive to walk the path of discipleship.
Fourth, share what is in your heart.
Fifth, trust the Lord to work His miracles."

James went to the Howard's and came back before I was even up this morning. I did not get much sleep last night. Too many thoughts spinning through my head and I took Tramadol too close to bedtime.

James and I are both so sick we can't even celebrate the holiday. We were going to go to the valley and be with Lola on her birthday and celebrate Independence Day Eastmark style but we just were both too miserable. Instead we stayed home and ate watermelon and that was about the extent of our celebration.

I really am grateful for all of those who have sacrificed to make our country free, many who gave their lives. I am grateful to live in the greatest country in the world, the United States of America.

Happy Independence Day!









 Can't think of a better way to celebrate
freedom and liberty than with this little one!












 Celebrating being 5!


Last year she was 4 on the 4th

Philadelphia temple




Celebrating family!



No rockets or bombs, just a fire.


I had to text Max and tell him we weren't coming down and
therefore he and Evan and Joshua wouldn't be able to come up. He was very sweet and said he hoped I felt better soon.
