Bonus Blog

I don't normally do more than one blog in a week, but I'm making an exception today. 

Yesterday I was kind of feeling sorry for myself.  I'm taking care of the animals at my sister's house -she is vacationing in a warmer climate. I had to get up and feed the animals at 5:30am in order to get to my sister's house and then be ready for work on time.  Then I had to work a twelve hour shift on a Saturday, when everyone else is off for Easter weekend.  I feel like I'm getting a cold and I was just having an "Oh, poor me" kind of day.  I got home from work, had dinner, then Mom wanted to take Easter baskets down to the missionaries apartment, fine we did that it only took 2 minutes. Then I went up to feed the animals before trying to relax for the evening.  Actually I just wanted to go home and go to bed.  I don't usually get this way, I am mostly positive, so it was refreshing to see the missionaries come up to thank us for the Easter baskets.  They had arrived home a little early, and the spanish elders were there too (Elder K. is district leader).  So since they had a little time, on their hands they asked to borrow a board game.  I had no problem with that, but what they didn't have to do was invite us to join their game.  I am probably the same age as their parents, so why would they want to play with me?  But they did.  We had a great time, it was only about an hour, but my whole outlook for the day changed with that simple act.  I went to bed last night with a much more positive feeling than I had just a few hours earlier.  These elders are doing good where ever they go.  THANK YOU to the parents of these four fine young men for raising such great examples of Christ's love for everyone.
