My ward is awesome!!!

On Sunday there was a knock on the door. I went into the back room to hide until I knew who it was. When I heard my primary president's voice I thought, "Oh it's just Lisa..." and I walked out into the front room...

Yes it was Lisa... with three of my little primary kids with her!!!

There were three very wide eyed eight year olds staring at my bald head! Geez... The girls both looked at the ground trying not to stare... the boy stared his little heart away and grinned at my big bald head. It was pretty funny, oh well!

The primary made me cards in sharing time on Sunday. It made me cry, seriously such a nice thing to do. I was really touched by a lot of the messages that the primary wrote on these cards. One that is standing out to me right now was from a boy who's family recently converted to the church, he was just baptised a few months ago with his dad and brother. The last week I was in primary we were talking about our trunk or treat for Halloween and he said, "What if I don't have my costume by then..." I turned around and told him that I remembered that he had worn a really cool leather jacket to church one week (probably his dad's) and that he could come as a biker dude. I actually said "biker dude" and I couldn't tell by the look on his face if that was cool or not... But guess what... he did come as a biker dude!!! His card was very sweet and it said, "Remember that you are never alone..." Thank you David. Thank you everyone in primary for these sweet and tender cards!!!

There were cards from the young women in there too. Apparently I have a new nickname in church... It's... Sister Lovely... how hilarious is that!!! I've been getting a kick out of that. Lots of cards addressed to Sister Lovely.

The Miamaids came over on Wednesday to make a big delivery. They made five freezer dinners for me for their activity that night. So they all came over to bring me the meals and I made them pose for a picture. I was really touched by this too, one of the nicest things that they could have possibly done for me.

I think that it is so touching that the youth in our ward would get involved in service like this. I'm finding that it doesn't take much to serve someone. Something that might seem fairly easy or insignificant to someone really can make a huge difference in the person on the receiving end. My heart has been lifted by these sweet kids in the ward this week. Thanks so much you guys (ya right.... like any of them are reading this! Oh well, their mothers might be...)

And just do you know... I'm totally legit... see so for yourself!!!

Ummm.... what does that mean? Too funny!
