Bishop Gerald Causse: "Ye Are No More Strangers"
1. Welcome and greet people at church that I don't know. Include them and love them. Remember the bishop from Les Miserables.
The debate going on right now in our family is: Which are better, Droids or I-Phones. Paul thinks I-Phones are for the slow and aged. Well, I say: Droids drool and I-Phones rule!
I spent most of the day getting ready for tonight's Young Women's dinner at our house. I cleaned upstairs, vacuumed bugs out of the windows and cleaned the main bathroom. I did take the time to make soup and sandwiches for lunch and take a nap with James.
This afternoon I made Lois's recipe for enchilada casserole. They will probably be too spicy for the girls but I think the adults will love them.
I had a visiting teaching interview at the church at 5:30 with Rosa Westbrook. She encouraged me to keep trying to visit Lannie in her home and to remember to have prayer with my sisters. I took Audrey Guerrero, Kelly Reynolds, and Jordyn and Shelly Applegate back home with me.
Here is how our evening went: Audrey made taquitos, rice and guacamole. Diana set the tables with her Corelle dishes and flatware. I provided the glasses. Diana also made chicken enchiladas with sour cream so we had two kinds of enchiladas. We also had two kinds of rice, beans, salsa and chips and salad. For dessert LeeAnn made a Texas sheetcake, Alice brought cookies, and Jordyn made the best apple pie I've ever had. She baked it in a paper bag and an hour and a half. Shelly brought punch so we had plenty to eat and drink.
Analee spoke to the girls about proper ettiquette. She was the perfect person for that assignment.
Diana talked about Divine Nature and how they could overcome any obstacle to live a Christ-like life.
She told about her dad who grew up in a family where drugs and alcohol were used and how he met her mom and joined the Church and now they are serving a mission together.
Kelly in the corner.
After Diana I gave each one of the girls one of my "Light of Christ" handouts. They loved them! It was a wonderful evening.
Those attending: Audrery Guerrero, Diana Curtis, Analee Hunsaker, myself as the adults. Young Women: Jordyn, Trenda, Hailey, Shelly, Kelly, Maddie and her friend Jaime, Alice, Hope, Heaven, Kilee, and LeeAnn.
