Today was the Sabbath. Larry and I slept in today again. We got up about 8:00 a.m. We joke that we will die when we get to the mission. We are still coughing and have a lot of congestion. We went through our morning things and got ready for church.
Sacrament was several youth and two youth leaders talking about the Youth Theme this year which is "Come Unto Christ" There were several good talks. One talked about the ways we can come unto Christ. He listed several things like prayer, go to the temple, seminary, church, and scriptures. One girl told how she was influenced by the spirit by talking to her friends about the story of Joseph Smith and why it was so important to the church. She didn't have and answer but then and answer came to her. The leaders focused more on why we should come unto Christ. The answer being that we can have the peace and serenity that we need in life if we include Christ in our life.
Sunday School we are in Marriage and Family Relations. The lesson today was lesson 10 on the Role of Fathers. It talked about the fact that Fathers and Mothers need to work together and help each other in their separate roles. It also emphasized the importance of father's in a person's life. They had an article from the Deseret News that told about several types of problems that are prevalent in persons who do not have a father or a good father image.
Relief Society talked about the importance of women. I think it was hard for me to feel the spirit today because of my chest and cough. Maybe I should have stayed home.
We came home and ate. We had thawed some shrimp and had a salad made that we ate with yogurt and shrimp sauce it was a great meal.
Larry turned BYU TV on and I just lay on the couch for about two hours and watched a couple of BYU Devotionals. Finally I felt like getting up and we went for a short walk. It felt so good to be walking outside. I prefer it over the gym. It was a beautiful day today here. Sunny and in the 50's
Friday we went to the gym and then I came home and started working. I got some of the work done before 1:00 p.m. but we ended up tending Taylor in the afternoon while Kirsten and Jon went to counseling. We had a good time with Taylor. She is such a cute girl. She drew us several pictures and we watched Disney Junior. I finally brought my computer in and wrote some while we watched Disney Junior. Kirsten got back about 4:30 p.m.
After eating we went to the gym again so I was able to get more points that day. On the way home we were coughing so much we called and tried to get a substitute for the Family History Center. But we could not find anyone home.
Saturday the supervisor at the Family History Center called about 7:45 and said they would go to the center for us. We had set out alarm for 7:00 a.m. thinking that we would have to go. We read for a while and took a shower and then got ready to go to mom's to help her.
Mom had us vacuum and dust and get gas in the car and we took her shopping. Then we went and got something to eat. She seems to like to do that when we go down. We went to Arby's because she didn't think that she looked good enough to go to a restaurant. Funny! I was surprised that Mom ate a whole French Dip Sandwich. She usually orders a kids meal. She told us how much she and Dad loved to go to Arby's and get a plain sandwich. No barbeque. I didn't know they had liked it so much. She said that once they had tried to take Annette's kids there when they were little and they stuck their nose up and would not eat anything there.
Tonight we are watching the Olympics and I am working on the computer. Larry has been reading his email I think.
We just called our grandson Owen and wished him a happy birthday. Misty said that they might come and visit us in Texas or just before we leave. She said they had made marshmallow shooters and Owen and his friends and Matthew were shooting Marshmallows at each other.
