Random caller

This past week has been insane. My companion and I have seen really weird miracles, one of which we were walking in the park trying to OYM people in the middle of the day in 106 degrees and it only felt like 110 degrees. (so not to hot.) We were doing OYM's and then all of a sudden we receive this call. I answered it very sheepishly, and said, "Hello it is the Missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." He then proceeded to tell us he wanted to come back to church and that he didn't really know how messed up his church was and he liked the way he felt when he came to our church. So we proceeded to tell him when church started how long it was and where it was at. He told us that he would see us Sunday. After the call I looked at Elder McWilliams and told him that we just had someone who told us he was going to church. He didn't believe me. Well Sunday rolls around and guess who shows up? THE RANDOM CALLER!!! I was so happy to see him and finally meet him. but it was cool because it was like the Lord saw that we were working hard and so we got rewarded. what a blessing. Here is one thing that I have learned this week, I have relearned this over and over again and i think it will finally stick, but eight months ago in January Elder Uchtdorf came to BYU and gave a devotional. I decided for my study I was going to re-Listen to it. As I was listening to it a phrase came back to me, "Mistakes are an event on the timeline of your life but they do not define your life." I feel like all the time I beat myself up because I make mistakes, but those mistakes are only defining my life because I am letting them. I have learned that as long as we repent sincerely it is done. I have also learned that if we dwell on our mistakes in a bad way you will not get far in the spiritual sense of life. All I have to say this week really is that I love you all and please take Elder Uchtdorf's advice and don't dwell on your mistakes. Thank you so much for your prayers, I have been having a blast out here in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma.

It's Blabbing day today!! Are they kidding me? A day I can just go on and on about nothing? (I bet they created this day for the children)LOL! So I found a brand of shoes that I absolutely love to look at. I have not worn or own a pair but would love to in the future. I just think paying more than $20 for a pair of shoes is crazy! And most of there shoes are $50+ These are one of my favorite!! But I haven't been able to find them cheaper than $89 that's a little steep.(I think) I will find them cheaper you just watch. They might be out of style by the time I can purchase them but I will have them. I love these too! I think I have a new hobby.. collecting shoes, now if I could only afford them. I have a couple of kids who have a difficult time channeling their Anger. So we are thinking of putting them into AKIDO (martial arts). Akido focuses on using there energy to gain control, Not on striking their opponent. I might actually need to take a few classes myself. I find chann...

My last trip to Albertson's turned out to be the best! Yes, I know you are sick of me posting about shopping but I had a few of you ask.. How I do it? I ended up spending $1.77 for what you see in the picture. You ask how? Albertson's Ad had two double coupon certificates in their ad where they would double up to 3 manufacture coupons per certificate. There are a few sites I continuously go to print off coupons they are... Betty Crocker Coupon Cat Pillsbury Albertson's had a sale when you bought $30 worth of certain items you would get 3 $5 dollar coupons for your next purchase. I grouped all my coupons together to try to get the best deal I could. The first time I purchased it actually cost me $17 something but I had $15 for a next purchase. The trick was to get 6 $1 coupons which equaled $12 +$15=$27 ....out of pocket=$3 and then 3 more $5 coupons would print out and you beg your neighbor friends or anyone you can for more double coupons and go back I pretty much lived ...

Yesterday we had the Opportunity to meet the Author of FableHaven and CandyShop Wars Brandon Mull. When he got there he answered questions and was very personable. Then he started signing books and individually answered questions. He also had a few questions for us. He also signed posters for all the kids. (I have no idea what were going to do with 6 posters) (Maybe with the underlining message my kids will enjoy reading) The line was longer than we expected but we were there pretty early and had a chance to be 4th or 5th in line. (if my kids would have just got in line while I was taking kids potty) (I'm glad we got there when we did) Overall a great family (education) moment. (Yes, Mom I got your copy signed as well)
