Oreo the hedgehog and Random pictures

I am so blessed that where I am in my life right now I can go to the temple more often. It is true what they say that there is a season for everything. It is so wonderful to do the work for my ancestors.

Beautiful picture taken by a friend of mine.

I was at the Stake center one night and took this picture. The stake center is across the street from the temple.

This weekend Conner got to babysit Oreo the hedgehog from school. He has been talking about it for months and it was finally his turn. Oreo is so cute and very easy to take care of. Conner loves to hold her. He does a great job of taking care of her.

The other day Conner had his tennis lessons at the High School and as we were leaving I thought of looking to see if Parker's parking spot was still there and to my surprised it was. He painted it before he started his senior year, about August 2013 so I was surprised that it was still there.

Conner playing with his magnets is good thing. He has always had a difficult time playing by himself. One time when he was little, I told him to go play and his answer was "I don't know how".  So for me this is a wonderful thing to see him playing.

I loved watching Brent and Conner play chess. What makes it special is that this was Brent's Dad Bruce's chess set.

The Sister missionaries in my ward. Sister Eager and Sister Harthun. When I took this picture a few weeks ago, Sister Eager was finishing her mission and this was her last Sunday.

My Heavenly Father loves me!!

I have not been able to fast in a while because I have been sick with my bad headaches. Everytime I tried to fast I would end up in bed for the rest of Sunday after church. This past Sunday I decided that I needed to fast for Parker, the area where he is at is very difficult and no one wants to listen to the missionaries.  I have also been worried about Parker for some reason so I really needed to fast. I prayed that I would not get a headache while I fasted and that I would be able to finish my fast. Heavenly Father answered my prayer and I was able to fast without getting sick!! Today, two days after my fast, my phone rang and I did not recognize the number but since it was a Utah number I thought it might be someone I knew. I answered the phone and it was a sweet sister from Victoria, Argentina who lives in Utah.  This sister was visiting church in Victoria on Sunday and saw Parker. She asked him for our number and she promised him she would call me when she got back to Utah. She told me he is doing great and that he is a handsome young man!! I know this was Heavenly Father's way to let me know that He is watching over Parker. She sounded like an older lady, she was really sick in bed, she said the trip left her exhausted and she was calling me from her bed. I am so thankful that He answered my prayer and I was able to fast for him and that in return He blessed me with this sweet sister's phone call to tell me Parker was fine.

Playing racquetball with a tennis ball, toilet lid and a cutting board. They are very creative. I think it's hilarious
