I had another nice week. I realized that I had so many things to do around the house that I kept being distracted by one thing or another. I realized I needed to work on being focused on what was most pressing and not get distracted by other things. I finished my couch cushions that I started last summer. I can't believe it took me so long to finish them, but I am pleased with the results and excited to get on to another quilting project. I learned how to use the new family search web site. Little by little I am gaining skill with technology. I still have much to learn, but I am grateful for any improvement. Now that I am not in the kitchen canning, I have been able to keep my house cleaner. Dad and I had a nice day off together on Saturday. We went to Grant's dress rehearsal for his primary program, I had lunch at Super Saturday, we did sealings in the temple and Craig took me shopping for a skirt and some jeans I had been needing. We ate supper at the food court in the mall and came home and watched a movie about Mother Teresa. It was very inspiring. There were two important things I was reminded of as I watched it. First, in the beginning, when Mother Teresa began her work among the poor, she neglected her own needs until she passed out one day caring for some sick people. She had to learn to care for herself before she could have the strength to care for others. This is an area I am trying to improve in. I have often neglected my own needs for many other things. Not in a life threatening sort of way, but I am learning it is good to take care of myself first, when possible. The other thing that impressed me was the fact that many people were angry and suspicious of her at first. I realized that for the Hindu people, Christianity had meant domination by Great Britain. The British had not treated them in a Christian manner so they wanted no part of Christianity. I'm sure Mother Teresa has been instrumental in preparing people's hearts to hear the Gospel when it is preached to them. I really liked this movie. I've included pictures of Dad's new bike, your picture of roses, Emily and one of my new couch cushions.
I LOVE your pillows.
