Catching up

   I have been really bad at keeping this blog up, I guess after returning from our mission, my life seems pretty boring.
     But a lot has happened, so I guess I better catch up.  WHY NOW?  I am teaching a lesson on Sunday about keeping Journals, and well, I have not been so good at that, so I can't expect my Sunday School class to do it if I am not, that would be a little ( actually a lot) hypocritical. So I am going to do better.
    Well the last time I wrote I was finishing up Radiation and I have to admit, I got a little sick for about a month after.  I still feel tired a lot, but I think with each day, that will go a way.
     I received a new calling in June, I now teach the 12 & 13 year olds in Sunday School and I LOVE IT.  I think I must have the best class in the whole world, what amazing kids. They are so strong and they are so smart, when it comes to Gospel stuff. We have had some good classes.  This calling was such a blessing for me.  I was feeling like I was not doing much good for the Lord, it has been hard to come home from our mission and life is just suppose to go on. But it doesn't, I miss the missionary work, I miss the people, I miss the outpouring of the spirit, I miss getting up each day and know that my whole day is consecrated to the Lord. Life kind of gets in the way of that. But this calling has helped me gain focus.
     We had the opportunity of going to hear Pres. & Sis Mecham give their mission report yesterday, it was wonderful. Both Alan and I cried, it made us very homesick for the mission field again, But we had a chance to see many missionaries we served with and to visit with Pres. & Sis. Mecham at their home after the meeting. We all cried and hugged each other. They are also having a hard time adjusting to being home. I remember something Pres. Mecham said to us, He had called us  and we mentioned how we were having a hard time adjusting, and he said, " Don't adjust, keep thinking about the mission field, and then go on another mission." That is our goal, I ask my Doctors how long before they would let us go again, they said maybe in a couple of years, as long as I have not had new cancer.  We look forward to that day, but until then we will be the best missionaries we can here.
    We have been having some fun times with our kids and grand kids

, Alan has gone to both, girls camp and boy scout camp as the Priesthood presence. He had a great time. We had my Dad come and stay for about 4 days, and that was good.
  We have been so blessed by the Lord, and see HIS hand in our lives everyday. We are so grateful.
