October 14

WE woke up today feeling like we were dragging and it was hard to get rid of that feeling.  We ate, read scriptures, prayed, took showers and walked but we just did not shake the feeling that there was a general malaise.

 

Larry wanted to go and get a food order that the Bishop gave us so even though we have hardly any room in the fridge from what Kirsten brought we went.  When we got home we brought it all in and eventually found room for it all.

By then my foot that I hurt the tendon in my arch was throbbing so I determined that I needed to lay down and put my foot up.

Larry figured out how to get Netflix with chromecast and so we have been watching season 10 of Bones.  So we watched three episodes this afternoon.  I was frustrated that I let myself watch it for that long but we did enjoy it.

Larry has been working in the garage trying to get it cleaned up so that Kirsten can get her car in before Winter.  He started by cleaning out the shelves and tonight he was trying to put some of the stuff that is still there on the shelves.  Maren came and brought her kids to spend the night and tomorrow with us as they are out of school and Larry talked her into taking many of the boxes that Nathan sent to her.

I read stories with the kids and they watched Disney channel for a while.  Then Kirsten came home and she was eating dinner and so we all had a snack with her and talked.

Max pooed his pants and so I had to clean him up.  I decided that it was easier to get him in the bathtub than to go and get the wipes in the other room.  He is so funny.  He reminds me of Jacob when he was little because he speaks in such big sentences.

Ellie got in the bath after Max and had fun playing with Taylor’s toys.  Unfortunately for the kids Taylor is with her dad this weekend and as it is UEA holiday she left today and will not be back until Monday afternoon.

When all the kids were ready for bed then we read a few stories about Jesus and said prayer with them and then they went to bed, Ha Ha.  I told them that they had to stay in their rooms but that they could do something.

Larry and I did our prayer and scripture and then I went down to see if they were asleep.  Everyone except Brinlie were asleep.  Brinlie was watching TV.  Kirsten was laying beside Max so I guess she decided that she needed to help him go to sleep.  I was grateful.

Tonight Larry and I finished our reading of the New Testament.  We have now read and studied the Old Testament and the New Testament for the last year and a half.  We read every chapter and verse in both books and we also studied David Ridges commentary on each and the Church Institute manual on each.  We have learned so much about how to turn to Jesus Christ.  It is also a testimony to me that the Old Testament testifies of Jesus Christ.
