Presser/Christiansen Family: February 18

Today was a busy day but my active link didn't think so. We arose early and went to the Salt Lake Temple by 10:00 a.m. The session was a good one. We were on our way home by 12:45 p.m. At that time it was 52 degrees and very sunny. It seemed that spring was on its way.

Maren called when we were on our way down and I got to talk to her. Her day was going much better because the kids were feeling better today. When we got to the temple I told her I would call her back later.

I ate lunch and I started working on the Curriculum. I am writing a chapter on selling this time. I spent most of the afternoon learning what selling is. Larry spent time working on laundry and putting stuff away in the house so the renters can come.

Maren and her kids on the beach

When I got bored and started falling asleep I called Maren again and she was at the beach with her kids looking for sharks teeth. Apparently it was a pretty good day there finally. She was busy so she said that she would call me back.

I read some more on selling and then Larry and I began to prepare a lesson for a Family Home Evening with Kirsten, even though it is Tuesday night. We have to give a lesson to someone on the different lessons in Chapter 3 of preach my gospel to prepare for our mission. Kirsten called and ask if we wanted to do FHE with them for the next three weeks since she didn't have to work on Monday nights now. But because yesterday was a holiday we decided to meet on Tuesday this week. She said that she would fix dinner if we would give the lesson.

On our way to Kirsten's house Maren called me back and we talked for a little more.

Sharks teeth that they found

The lesson went very well. Kyle seemed to be really listening and Kirsten was good to make comments that added to the lesson. The dinner was really good. She had tried some new recipes where she cooked chicken in Balsamic Vinegar and she also had Sweet Potatoes that she had covered with olive oil and then added the Chicken and some balsamic vinegar. It all looked burnt but it was the most moist chicken I have had and the chicken and potatoes tasted good. The balsamic vinegar just made it look burnt. But it also gave it a good flavor.

After the lesson we watched Taylor play on some of her games that she likes on Kirsten's Kindle. She has several dress up games and a magic school bus game that she showed us tonight.

We came home and ate fruit and watched NCIS on demand and now we are preparing for bed.
