08/02/86 Samedi (Saturday) Lazy Saturday

I got up and started making my breakfast when Colette came in and game me a necklace that says AFS.  (AFS is the name of the program that I came to France with) It is really nice.  I was surprised. (pleasantly!) 

We went shopping and I think we are back to old Saturday nothing. 

She said if I got the address of the church she would go with me.  I'll wait until 9 tonight and then call.  I really want to go.  Collette doesn't like Isabel but she said I could call her if I wanted to do something.  I don't think Isabell likes Colette either.  I wonder if Colette doesn't like me.  Oh well, doesn't matter anyway!

It is chilly today.  I think I'l put on a sweatshirt and go read outside. I didn't sleep good last night and now I'm exhausted!  I'll continue writing later.

My sweatshirt turned into a bathing suit and I roasted in the hot sun until 6 p.m. Colette and I then walked down to the farm and got eggs, milk and cottage cheese.  On the way back we stopped at her friend's house and they talked until after 8.  I have been trying to call church since 8:50 and noone answers the phone.  Colette even said she'd drive me but I have no address.  I am really losing it.  I thought I had it all together but if I don't get a response tonight I am gonna fall apart again. I'm gonna pray and then go down and try again.

Prayers are answered!!!  I'm really going to get to church!!! I called the mission home and talked to Elder Wells who told me to call Elder Drake and Elder Tron.  Thy are going to meet me at the station and give me french books and be my friends! 

I am so glad!  I'm really gonna go to church and have friends now.  My goals are becoming easier.  Praying really works!  I have to thank the Lord again! I'm so happy I could cry1 

From now on I'm gonna try to pray more often for better reasons.  I really am gaining a testimony of prayer!

Bon Soir, Bon Nuit

11/09/24 The temple

St George Temple This morning I woke up early and continued to read "Your Endowment", a book Grandma Griffin gave me several years ago but that I never read cover to cover. It is of course, about the temple and the meaning behind the endowment and the other things we learn about in the temple. I'll be honest, a lot of it feels "over my head".  I am seeking to learn and know and understand more but I don't have a thorough understanding at this time.  Kathy and Steve Spring Yesterday I went to visit Kathy Spring. She worked at Washington City for many years and retired almost 3 years ago. We were good friends and she helped me in the court for quite awhile. Her husband died in January of 2020...looking back she is convinced it was covid but it was just before covid really became a thing. So it's not official. In about a years time she lost her Dad, her husband, her son and a grandson. Life was pretty rough when we were friends back then and I could see the...

10/06/24 Repairs, Funeral, Marathon, Retirement Party, Car Show, Murder Mystery, Dr Visits, Pets, Food & Church. O my!

Macy Bundy, Hudson Jones, Emily Francis It's been a wonderful, packed week with good stuff going on all around. Sunday during church I went to Andy's class for 1/2 of the second hour. The kids are nine and kind of a handful sometimes...but there was only three and they were pretty cute and fun. After Andy taught his class he went to Primary singing time and I went to the second half of a combined YW/YM class.  We had Sunday dinner with Randy & Kay, AJ, GPA, and us. Eldon and Diane are on an Elderhostel trip and will be gone for a couple Sundays with other responsibilities. Andy smoked drumsticks and I made homemade bread and cookies (both new recipes). All of our dinner was SO GOOD!!!!  Sometimes it just works, and this was one of those! YuM! Raspberry filled cookies Delicious homemade bread Bryce and Marlee and Mo left fairly early on Sunday morning. They went out to Enterprise to see her brother's kids in the primary program. They had lunch and then stopped at Holly a...

11/10/24 Election, 28 year Anniversary, 1 year Anniversary and a Sealing

Well I'm starting this early cause tomorrow morning I'm going walking extra early. But I'm still calling it 11/10.   I'm gonna run through this week and see if anything was exciting.  But first...this picture...It just kills me!  When church is just too much! Haha.  I think that was at youth conference a couple of years ago and I think it's one of the Francis boys...but I couldn't swear to it! I know you're not supposed to take pictures in the chapel.  But seriously...I couldn't resist! Speaking of the Francis family. Today at 2:30 p.m. at the Red Cliff's Temple, they sealed Laith to their family. Laith will make child # 10 (or 12?)  (And he is 10 years old).  Laith's mother died very unexpectedly within the last couple of years. Shortly thereafter his father was arrested and has been sentenced to spend the rest of his childhood and beyond (I don't know the # of years) in prison. He's a challenging child AND he got bumped around a little....
