Fall Blessings

I was blessed by these women. They are Stake Presidents wives, we got to meet together at Sun Valley for some training while our husbands were being trained also. It was a wonderful day. We were asked to memorized "The Living Christ" I tried once when I was serving in young women and failed....but I am determined to do it this time. Memorizing is not easy for me.
I was blessed by having my first grandson baptized (well, he is my only grandson). I remember being baptized by my sixteen year old brother. He told me he was going to drown me (maybe that is why I don't like to swim) the bishop wrote down the wrong words of the baptism prayer so he memorized them wrong. After the third time of going under I remember looking up at my mother crying, begging her not to let him drown me.
And of course, I was blessed this fall by being able to attend General Conference and to be taught by men of God. I am so excited to get my November Ensign so I can read and reread their words.

Moonlighting

After Chad and I were first married we did a lot of moonlighting jobs to just try to get ahead or to just try to pay the bills. It was a lot of long hours after work. I can't remember if I really enjoyed those times...it is kind of like having a baby you soon forget.
So when the boys thought it would be a good idea to do some moonlighting jobs....I thought oh what the heck. But just trying to find the time after work and church has been a great BIG challenge.
So when this project is over.....I hope I don't forget.....or I hope I'll look back on this blog post and remember how really fun or not so fun moonlighting is!
