Feb. 15, 1999

 


        Let me see what has happened since writing last week... Coleen Staker (Mike's mom) has gone into the Missionary Training Center.  She is going on a mission to Thailand.  Wendy Moss (our R. S. President), Madlyne Bulloch and I gave a Valentine Luncheon for four sisters in the ward... we invited 2 older sisters and 2 younger ones (thinking it would be nice to give the younger ones a chance to get away from their children for a few minutes... and the older ones- someone to talk to for a little while.  We had Evelyn Magee, Dawn Garrett, Donna Miller and Elane Darby... everyone seemed to enjoy it.  I got a note from Evelyn thanking us (for the event).  We are going to try and do one of these luncheons about once a month.  

        Another fun thing that the presidency, Madlyne and I did was to go around the neighborhood and stick lots of valentine hearts (and a bag of candy) on widows / doors of single sisters.

         One thing that I want to write about is a real spiritual experience I had the other morning.  I woke up early (before daylight)... and I was lying in bed thinking... and one of the thoughts was that I should remember to pray in the morning when I wake up... as well as at night.  As I thought this, I said a prayer about something important to me and as I lay there the thought came to me "Keep doing what you are supposed to do and the blessings will come!"...  I wasn't even thinking of those words, they just came very clear.  I know that Our Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers.  Those words mean a lot to me.
