How Can I Understand

"The question asked by this Ethiopian man is a reminder of the divine mandate we all have to seek to learn and to teach one another the gospel of Jesus Christ. In fact, in the context of learning and teaching the gospel, we are sometimes like the Ethiopian - we need the help of a faithful and inspired teacher; and we are sometimes like Philip - we need to teach and strengthen others in their conversion."
I got a call from Marie R. my ministering companion this morning. I was hoping she was going to ask when we could do some visits but that wasn't the case. She was in the hospital in the valley having a procedure done and needed Paula J.'s number because Paula is babysitting her dogs.
I left the house around 9:30 this morning. My first stop was at my friend Maxine's. Today is her birthday. She is 73 and is our Relief Society secretary. I brought her a card signed by Tamara and Kerri, the other members of our RS presidency. I also brought her some chocolate chip cookies, a Gerber daisy plant and a 12-pack of diet Coke. She told me one time that her children would remember her because she loved doing family history and temple work and she loved diet Coke. She said the gifts were perfect. I wanted to bring her flowers because when she was a little girl, on her birthday, she would hand out flowers to the women in her neighborhood.
After leaving Maxine's I headed for my brother Dennis's house in Linden. Dennis texted me the other day and said he was putting new flooring in one of the bedrooms and had taken all the books off the bookshelf. He knows we are selling books on Amazon and wanted to know if I wanted to come over and look at the books he has. I said yes I could come Wednesday morning.
The first thing I noticed when I drove up to Dennis's was Nannie's old green Chevy truck. I had to take a picture. It looks like Dennis has had the truck re-painted and he said he took it out for a spin the other day. This is a little scary because Dennis is legally blind and should not be driving.
I love this truck and the memories it brings
Dennis had books everywhere but none of them would sell very well on Amazon. I did enjoy my time with him and his two dogs, Maisy and Jewel. Jewel is a basset hound and Dennis says if you have anything to eat in your purse she will sniff it out. She looked at me and with a disgusted look, just walked away. Sorry Jewel, no goodies in my purse.
When I left Dennis's I headed back in to Show Low and stopped at Safeway with the purpose of getting some Dr. Pepper 10. They did not have any. I got some shredded rotiserie chicken and an egg salad croissant. The croissant was for lunch and the chicken is to put in the chicken noodle soup I am making for the Grapp's dinner this evening. I also got myself a Payday candy bar. On to Walmart.
I got everything I needed for the Grapp's dinner at Walmart. I also got a Mother's Day card and a petunia plant for Lois for mother's day. We are going to the valley tomorrow and won't be down the following week on mother's day.
When I got home I put together the chicken noodle soup and let it simmer for awhile while I made a salad with berries. It was a very similar dinner as the one I took to the Howard's last night except that the soup is chicken noodle instead of chicken and rice.
James helped me take everything over around 5:30. Liana told me that's when there dad gets home and that's when they usually have dinner.
Here is the text I got from Cammy later, after dinner:
"Your meal was the best meal we have ever had brought in. You and your husband way out did yourselves. Thanks so much for helping to lighten my load tonight. It couldn't have come at a better time. Thomas has meetings, Liana activity days. With me not feeling up to it, not having to make dinner was a real blessing. Thanks again."
We sold two more books today.
There is just something about old vehicles.

Since I didn't get to see the falls run this year I
posted this picture from a couple of years ago.
So excited for Cathryn's baptism!
