I love this quote from Elder Cornish's General Conference address:
"It is as tragic to think we are too sinful to pray as it is for a sick person to believe he is too sick to go to the doctor!"
James took two of his boys from the Teacher's quorum to run a mile at the Chandler track this morning. It's part of a merit badge requirement. The two boys, Alex Braddock and Andy Tachecki came here afterwards for cinnamon rolls, strawberries, and freshly squeezed orange juice.
James and I went to Max's flag football game. Max made an interception right at the beginning of the game, but it got called back. Max didn't play any offense and sadly his team lost 21-0.
Today at 4pm James and I both attended a Worldwide Leadership training put on by the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles via satellite. The main emphasis was on strengthening families and individuals. My favorite speaker was President Dieter F. Uchtdorf. He is so powerful and I really felt the Spirit. He ended by telling us we need to pray, ponder, and follow up on commitments and pray daily for further light and direction.
Darrel and his kids came over this evening. I sent Trina's birthday gift home with them: A Target gift card, a mug full of chocolate, and a candle. I gave Addy and Ruby both "journals" and pens. Addy wrote all about her day. Ruby wrote in her journal too but I'm not sure what it said.
It was a fun day.
