Tenemos dieciocho nietos!

His sacrifice is the motivation

Today, in my Spanish lesson with my MTC trainer on Skype I was  having a bit of a come-apart.  (for my non-LDS friends, MTC stands for Missionary Training Center) (for my LDS friends, a come-apart is a pity party one throws for herself when she's feeling overwhelmed) Then Hermana Fernandez gave me this to watch:  It takes a few minutes to watch, but it's powerful. It is my testimony that Heavenly Father is very mindful of each of his children (me). He hears our prayers (mine) and will give to us exactly what is needed at exactly the time that we need it, just as he did for me today. Thanks for reading.

Update:

I'm not sure if we ever mentioned the date we were to report to the MTC in Provo, Utah. Originally it was to be November 12th. But it has been moved up to October 29th. Our missionary meeting (or farewell as they use to be called) will be on October 21st at 11:00 in the morning. We will have almost our entire family here, and that will be exciting!

Give it yer best shot

We are getting updated on our shots for the mission. Today Ron got his Tdap (Tetanus, Diptheria and Pertussis) and we both got our TWINRIX, which is  combined Hepatitis A & B shots.

 

 I think I might have been the first patient that the 12 year old boy the Pharmacist, has given a shot to. I think he hit a muscle or a nerve or something because it hurt ...

 

and it bled like a fountain...while he frantically looked for something to wipe the blood dripping down my arm. Sheesh!
