A journey back in time
Sunday I gave a lesson to the singles ward on Visiting Teaching. It has been a while since I thought about my childhood. I shared with the young sisters about being raised in a family were I was taught at a very young age that I was born into an evil descend. Because of my father I was destine to be evil and there was nothing I could do to change that. Now she wasn't being mean to me she truely thought that.
When I got married and starting having children, I was very concerned for my children that they would also have this same curse. When my husband and I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I felt so good inside I had never experianced such a wondrful feeling I wasn't even sure what I was Feeling I just knew it felt good.
Doug and I became inactive in this church because my husband wasn't quite sure he believed all of its teachings. And I felt I was and evil person inside so it didn't matter. During this time I received visiting teachers and I was a visiting teacher also, for about 8 years. Sometimes I didn't answer the door when my visitng teachers came and some times when I was suppose to go visiting teaching I wouldn't show. But when I did it felt wonderful. I love this feeling. Then one day I was invited to a VT conference where we were served lunch to say thank you for going and doing our visiting teaching. At this conference everyone was handed their new visiting teaching routes, which I didn't get one.
I became so emotion that I got up and went to the bathroom, I was crying uncontrollably someone heard me and told the young lady who I rode with that I was in the rest room crying.
We both had an epiphany that day. I felt like my only connection with the Lord was being taken away from me, I felt lost and alone. Of course the sister that was in charge was amazed that visiting teaching meant so much to me. I love visiting teaching and the all the sisters who loved me and brought me lessons and just loved me for who I was, I am thankful for that great lesson I learned about visiting teaching that day.
What a great program the church has for helping us learn more about each other and to help others come unto Christ. Just remember when your visiting some inactive sister, she needs you to be loving and kind towards her you may be what she needs to come unto christ. We are the ones that that help the Lord bless the lives of others if we are listening.

Scriptures to mark
When Elder Brecheisen (Chris) called us he gave me homework to do and told me to look up
Moroni 7:16
16For behold, the Spirit of Christ is given to every man, that he mayknow good from evil; wherefore I show unto you the way to judge; for every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherever ye may know with a perfect knowledgebit is of god
2 Nephi 32:1-5
I would write this one out if it werent so stinkin long

Talked with Chris Today
Well today was a great day. Chris called early this morning while he was at the Salt Lake Airport and I talked with him for about 45 minutes. Then When he got to New York's airport he called again and we talked for about two hours. I got to talk with him for about 30 minutes. We talked about his time in the Mission Training Center there in Prove, UT. He has a great testimony of the Gospel and has a great LOVE for his Lord and Savior. He shared with me somthings I could do that would help me be a better person and some views on how to teach Sarah his sister about graining a testimony of our Savior and knowing what it feels like to have the Holy Ghost with you and how to keep him with you. I LOVE having a missionary for a son, I learn more and more each time. the Lord has blessed me with great giants for children I have learned a life time of values and principles from them. What a Great day.
Love & Prayers,

Hold on get ready for the ride
Well life is going forward fast. We moved over the the Christmas break 2nd time this year. Most of our stuff is in storage or packed and stored in my sisters garage. This year started out to be one of the worst holidays since I was a kid that I had ever had. I just felt sad and couldn't get into the Christmas Spirit. I felt really bad for our daughter Sarah, Sarah ended up having a great Christmas anyways. Money has been very tight this year and money is going to get tighter. Doug's job has slowed down to almost a stop. We moved in with my sister and her family, she has four children ,which one is a special needs child. I'm very thankful that she has allowed us to move in with her and to share her home with us. But I still feel trapped and not sure how this is all going to work out. I just had to turned my my whole life over to the Lord and trust in him.
I guess when a person turns their life over to the Lord they better be ready to take the ride. I was call two weeks ago to be the 2nd counselor in our Stakes Relief Society. I have spent a lot of time at a lot of meetings. I need to trust in the Lord and make sure I listen to him so I know how to help these Sisters of Livermore at this time, when life seems to be very bleek for most with the economy the way it is, and I feel hopeless, homeless and moneiless (I don't think that is a word) .
My oldest son Jeremie, Melinda, Eliza, Aislin and Oliver surprised us for Christmas. What a surprise it truely brighted up my Christmas day. This was the greatest surprise I could have received. It was good to see my family. My grand children are so beautiful and a joy to see and be with. They are so delightful. Life has changed a lot I miss those days of when my children were little and at home. I will probably never have that again. I will always cherish those moment. I was told this would happen to me someday and I didn't understand, but I do now. I love my children and even tho I started out a mother as a child myself I always tried to be the best even though I failed, at least I tried. I gave up a lot for my family and because I wanted to and I wouldn't change a thing, other then start my family after I had grown up. I'm thankful I was able to have children and for the children I have.
