Sunday

We had a wonderful conference Sunday. Both the meetings last night and the meetings today were uplifting and instructive. I loved Pres. Crawley's talk today. The main idea being one with God is enough. If you have to face challenges, assignments, loneliness, persecution, doubt, and hard things (which we all do) and you are with God that's enough.

We also had a visiting general authority, Elder Falabella and he was wonderful. So kind and thoughtful. His teachings were powerful and uplifting and I loved his gentle manner. He greeted everyone and took time to talk to everyone.

I love going to church with my family. I am so grateful that families can be together forever!

It was fun to have mom and dad go, so many people were happy to see them and there were many excited hugs and smiles.

After church mom went to Dasiy's and the rest of us went to walk in the desert.  We saw a lot of wildlife, which was a red letter day.  We saw hares, and rabbits, crows, lizards, squirrels, blue jays and sevearl other birds I couldn't identify.  It was a lot of fun and very nice out.

When we came home we watched Star Wars, ate a tasty dinner, did laundry, did some more talking and then went to bed.

2 more sleeps until Ireland!!


and an important science project update, 7 of 11 fish have perished.  We are now feeding tomato plants either water, or coke or OJ and seeing which does best.
