work

I am in pain today and I know why. Last night at work my boss decided that she was going to write me up. I accidently opened a section that was not the right one and then a table sat there for 15 mins without getting help. I understand that is a HUGE deal, but I think I could have gotten a verbal warning. I know that the regional manager is cracking down on the managers because we are so bad right now, but I feel like this manager does not like me and she is just out to get me. I need to move pass this I and feel if I wright this down then maybe I will feel better. I have not gotten written up in a very long time for this not being a good host. I have not been told in a long time that I am doing a good job so that hurts too it makes me feel like they do not appreciate the job that I am doing. The manager who wrote me up didn’t even give it to me it was another manager. I feel like she was being a coward by not telling me herself. She feels like if she would have done it before she left then it would have made my work suffer. I would have liked to talk to her and ask her why I could not have gotten a verbal warning why did it have to go to a strait wright up. I feel like I should have been able to explain myself. oh well today is another day.

Strengthen our brothern

I shared a message for my sisters last month for visiting teaching. It was by the Prophet Thomas S. Monson Sunday morning session. It was talking about being strong and faithful. He shared a story about 3 men. One of them was 17 when he joined the church in Germany during WW1 then he moved to Hungry shortly after joining the church. He felt like he was alone the church because they didn’t really have the church in Hungry at that time. Fast forward some years later and another gentleman gets his home teaching route (that is where men in my church are assigned to visit families to make sure they are ok) and calls his companion to ask him when they could go to visit this gentlemen. They said they would go the next day. They would be gone for a week “if” they made it back. They would have to take a train and a bus to get to this brothers house. They get to his house and want to shake his hand, but the brother says just a second I need to get something. He went to his room and pulled out a box from under his bed and he had been saving his tithing all those years. He gave it to his home teachers. He then would shake their hands because the felt like he was in good standing with the Lord now. That made me think if this guy could save what little money that he was making and give it to the Lord when he didn’t even know if he was going to see anyone to give it to or that he might need the money for himself. What am I doing to show the Lord that I am faithful to him? It also made me think the two home teachers had to travel for days to see this guy. They had to spend time and money to go and see this guy not knowing if they would make it back, but do I sometimes have a hard time driving for five minus to go and do my visiting teaching (this is where ladies in my church go and visit other ladies to make sure that they are ok). What sacrifice am I willing to make for the sake of His church. Am I willing to do all things? Am I willing to go and visit the active sisters or am I willing to visit the less active ones too? I am setting a goal to visit whoever is on my list. They were put on my list for a reason and I need to take care of them too. They are children of my Heavenly Father and they need me to talk to them. Who knows maybe I need them too. I have made some good friendships from being a visiting teacher. If the Lord was here then he would be doing the same thing too. He would be visiting all people and I need to do the same. I have a friend who is not a member in my church (The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints) she had told me that she was sick so I decided that I was going to make her some soup. I just got what I had in the house to make it. I put chicken, rice, carrots, corn, and part of a green pepper in it. I then made chicken broth with crushed red peppers. She said that she loved it and that no one had ever done that for her before. That made me feels great that I could help her and do what Jesus would do if he were here. I hope that she will want to listen to the missionaries. I am going to invite her family to come to Alex’s baptism and hopefully they will feel the spirit and want to learn more. She is a very strong catholic, but would make a great member she is super nice and would do anything for anyone.

House

I am soooooooooooo excited for Friday. We will be going to a family reunion in Moab with Issac’s family. It is going to be fun we will be there until Tuesday. I was put in charge of fun things to do with the kids. I think I found lots of entertaining things for them to do. I was shopping at Wal-Mart one day and I saw a box that had popsicle sticks in it and different kids of animals that they can put on them so excitingly they will be making puppets I think that the kids will have fun with them. They also get to paint and play with play dough. I never by play dough because I do not like how it sticks to my tile floor. I will let them keep it for this trip and the other trip that I will be going on in July then I think I will throw it away. The bathroom downstairs is coming along great! Issac was able to put lights in it. How grateful I am that we have lights in there now. He has been able to make 3 way switches some from scratch. I am so grateful that I married him. He is so handy and can build and fix things. Almost as good as my dad. Our goal is to finish our basement by September so when Alex gets baptized my parents will be able to stay at our house. I am getting so tired of trying to go downstairs and seeing all the things that I have out of place. We just had to hurry and shove things wherever we could put them. So you can imagine how messy and cluttered it is. It will be good when all is said and done because we get to have new good stuff. When we are done we will be re-painting the upstairs most of the rooms have not been painted in the 9 years that we have lived here. We are going to be moving the girls into our room and Alex will be moving into the girl’s room. Then Alex room will then become the office again. We want the rooms to look nice so we will be putting crown molding in every room. We will start at the top then move into the middle then move to the bottom. That is how the master bedroom looks now and we think it just looks so beautiful. We are going to paint two different colors on the walls so the girls will be pink and purple. We have not decided on Alex’s room yet. He wants brown and orange, but I do not think that is going to be the colors that we choose.
