We had our fast Sunday today.
It was a nice meeting.
For the combined 5th Sunday with the Youth we learned about how to be Resilient.
It was really great.
Sister Larsen, from our ward many, many splits ago.....taught us.
She is a counselor and she did great.
She talked about how we can choose how we react to the things that go on in our lives and we can choose to let people make us mad or happy.
We get to choose.
We get to be in charge of our own emotions!!!!!
She talked about having GRIT :)
That was actually one of the youth who used that word....
But not only grit, but being willing to rely on others and let them help you.
Also to put yourself out there and serve others.
Of course having Faith is a big one.
Faith that what we got through will make us stronger and that the Lord is there with us by our side the whole way.
In one of the testimonies today he mentioned that the ground has to break in order to plant a seed, even the sacrament bread needs to be broken apart so we can partake.
It's okay to be broken sometimes.
Out of brokenness comes beauty.
I truly believe that!!!!
But you have to have faith and be resilient!!!
After church, Cassi and Elsie went to choir.
At home we worked on our personal CFM study.
When they got home they played the piano, Port and I worked on our puzzle, then we broke our fast.
After eating, the kids ran outside for a bit and Dad and I took a catnap on the couch.
They came back in and we had a nice Come Follow Me lesson.
I have missed our lessons the last couple weeks.
Being out of your normal routine makes it harder!
So it was nice to get back into it.
I really enjoy this time with my family.
After that, the kids and Mater all piled in the car and went to Mary Mac to play.
Dad and I followed later, on foot.
It was a nice little walk on a beautiful day.
We had so much fun there at the school.
There was a very non-bouncy ball that we played some HORSE with, and then we created one of those videos where you do trick shots to get the ball in the basket.....
But ours was pretty funny and so much fun ❤
I think we all really enjoyed our time.
The girls and Mater piled back in the car and Porter walked home with Dad and I.
Then we popped some popcorn in the instant pot, cool new trick I learned.
Dad had to leave for a bit to give a neighbor a blessing, but when he got back we watched a bit of Unfortunate Events.
The kids are both excited and not excited to go to school.
I am ready to get back into the routine!!!
Plus, with the nice weather, we have so much to do out in the yard!!!!!!
