Carla

Last Saturday I was able to take my good friend Carla to the temple to watch her sister's family be sealed. It was a sweet experience for me because I miss being with her. In her healthier years we use to go to the temple together. I would always tell her I loved to go with her because she got all the special treatment!

While I was with her I realized I didn't have a single picture of her. I didn't want to take one of her in her bed so I started to carry my little camera to church with me. I can't explain why I felt so strongly to get a picture with my dear friend. I guess I just realized that I don't know how much time I have left with her.

I love this sweet friend of mine so much! She has taught me so many things. Things like patience, love, kindness, forgiveness, obedience, faith, humility, and so much more!

Change is a Coming!

Last Sunday a high councilman made an announcement in sacrament meeting. The announcement, new ward boundaries followed by this, "all members in the 5th ward will be released at that time." What? All members? Bishops, Presidencies, everyone? Yep that was the news.

The men's reaction: Okay, we'll see you next Sunday at the meeting.

The women's reaction: WHAT? GIVE US EVERY TINY DETAIL NOW! What are the boundaries? Will our bishop be put back in? What about all the plans we have? Who, What, Where, When??? You can't make that announcement then have us wait an entire week for answers! Tell us now!!

Needless to say many women have not been sleeping well this week. Come on Sunday get here already!
