Weekly Tidbits

***I actually think I posted most of my weeks events...however I did realize something on Thursday.  If I do not plan my day and even think that I have a day to prepare a lesson for Sunday I really need to remember that won't happen.  If I don't have my day planned it gets filled up pretty quickly.  So Thursday  my plans were:  to get up and take Jared to Trichelle's so that he could mow her lawn and then I would go to Mallory's work to get some stuff for my lesson that her friend had already prepared.  Then I planned on going home and preparing it.  That's not quite how my day went.

Kimleighel called and told me she forgot sunscreen and needed me to take her some. (she is pulling weeds at Larry's lot)  Larry called as soon as I dropped Jared off and asked me to meet him at the credit union to sign some papers that had something to do with the land that Justin wants to build on. (I had no idea that might even happen today) Then he asked me to take those papers and take them to the recorders office to have them recorded.  I went to Mallory's work first and got the material for the lesson then I went to the recorders.

While I was leaving the recorders Fremont High called me and said that Kimleighel and Jared's new schedules were ready to pick up. (the changes they requested had been made)  Ok, I thought....I will run by the school on my way home. (the school isn't really on my way home but it is west so close enough)  When I went back to the shop to take the recorded papers to Larry he wanted me to go back up to South Ogden because the office he had got the papers from originally didn't give them all to him.  I guess my face is easy to read (even with sunglasses on) because Larry said he would send Jaydan or Trevor.  I was happy with that and they even get paid to do it.

So I went to Fremont and got the new schedules.  I did make it home in time to read through the lesson and look through the material I had just picked up.  About that time Jared text me saying he was done and ready for me to pick him up.  I went to get him and noticed that there were stripes in Trichelle's lawn.  Her mower is different from ours and the guide is off from what Jared is use to.  I made Jared mow all the stripes which didn't thrill him. First though because I knew he wasn't happy that he still had more to do I took him with me to get gas where I also let him get a drink and some pizza.  I waited an hour while he mowed it again.  Instead of raking the grass again we went around and picked it up from the front by hand.

Then we went and picked up Zaden since we were close.  I had just got Zaden home and my sister text me asking me if mom had called me.  Nope....I hadn't got a call.  I called my sister and she informed me that my mom had taken my dad to the ER.  I grabbed my things for my SNAP meeting and went to the hospital.  My dad was okay but after going to the doctor earlier and having blood drawn the doctor called and told him to go to the ER because some counts were really high which makes them think he has an infection.  Nothing was showing up on the tests that the ER ran but by the way my dad is feeling something is wrong.  My dad doesn't complain and when the Dr asked if he hurt anywhere he would say no.  I corrected him because he kept moving around and I could tell he was hurting.  I think his hip was what was hurting him but because it has for months now he didn't think to say.  I really hope and have prayed that the other tests they were waiting on will let us know what is wrong.  It's sad to see the ones you love hurt.

I left when it was time for me to go to my meetings.  I got home finally about 9:00.  Did I get my lesson planned and ready?  Nope!

***This week I have been thinking a lot about the Holy Ghost.  I have often called him a friend, a comforter...all the things we have heard.  I recognized that I even though I have always called him those things and really do appreciate his help I have never really felt connected to him.  I think of him as the messenger the go between guy but lately I have thought of him as a friend.  He is part of the God Head and Loves us as much as our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.  He loves us so much that he agreed to not have a body so that he could dwell in us and help us.  I guess it finally hit me of who he really is.  I am not only thankful for him as my gift...but I love him!  I want to acknowledge him as well as my Savior and Heavenly Father for all the promptings and protection and comfort he provides.  He is so much more to me....so much more personal. He is more than just a gift...he is my friend!

***I was asked to teach Relief Society this week.  I enjoyed preparing and teaching and I am so thankful that Heavenly Father answers our prayers and helps us when we ask.  I didn't have lot's of time to prepare but felt prepared.  It was about Bringing up our Children in Light and Truth!  With Heavenly Father's help we will be able to do things the right way....we need to seek His help more often.  Heavenly Father loves us so much.....we are His Children!
