Keeping busy

Well, we seem to keep busy. We have opportunity to not only attend the temple on Wednesday, but last Saturday went up with 3 other couples and did iniatories. Got around 80 women names and probably as many male names.
Yesterday was special as Grandmother and Walt came to the 4:30 session. Daddy officiates and I am the first follower. That gave me the opportunity to assist Grandmother in every aspect of the session. It is pretty amazing when the spirit takes over how the memory is pricked.
I also taught my fourth Sunday lesson in Relief Society last week. That is always a busy day as I teach my Sunday School Class on the fourth week as well. However as most of my kids were gone for the day, Darla Scihopan, who also teaches the same Sunday School Class let me combine with her and that gave me a breather before Relief Society.
Tuesday Lisa, Annie and I went to the church and participated in our humanitarian day.We are making slippers, P.J.'s, blankets and wall hangings as well as baby nighties to be sent to church headquarters and then distributed to orphanages.
There are so many needs in the world.( Daddy worked on genealogy while we were gone.)
I watched American Idol two different nights and I was a basket case. The faces of those beautiful little children from Africa and around the U.S. are just haunting.
Daddy and I have talked and we believe if each of our families would only donate $5.00 a month to the humanitarian efforts along with our tithing and fast offering it would make an impact and we would be assured that it would all reach our intended destination.
We have so much to be grateful for and we are so thankful that our grandchildren are not among the broken and devastated families of the world. Thank you all.
Today Daddy, Annie and I went up to the cemetery to do a little care giving. The grass has just never grown very well on Joshua and Noah's grave and it looked pretty bad. The headstones had a lot of moss and discoloration on them as well.
So we cleaned the headstones (grandpa's too) Then we prepared the grave top to lay sod on it tomorrow. Had to dig down a couple of inches, rake and fertilize. It will look a lot nicer for Memorial Day.
This weekend is Stake Relief Society Conference.
The gospel is true and families are forever.
Love to All
Mom (Grandma)
