It's October already!

It’s October already! The year is going so quickly. I loved General Conference yesterday and the day before. It is neat being close to the Spirit or having it close to me for those two days almost all day long. It bore witness to me many times that Thomas S. Monson is the prophet and mouthpiece of our Lord and Savio, Jesus Christ. And also that Jesus Christ is the son of God and our Savior and Redeemer and without Him there is no way we could return Home again.

It has been a busy three weeks since I wrote. Our bathroom is all but completed. Evan and Norm are coming today to fix the goof they did last week when laying the floor. Evan forgot about the toe-kick drawer in the bottom of the cabinet and laid the underflooring beside it instead of also under it then Norm laid the vinyl on top of that and coved it up under the drawer. So it can’t be opened at all. They will come today and lift the vanity and place the underflooring and I guess vinyl underneath it so I can use my drawer. It is a beautiful deep drawer. Bryce came Friday and put on the mirror and the door to the vanity and cabinet above. He does beautiful work. It just takes him forever and a day. Last week we got 43” high cabinet, white with a drawer and two shelves. It is 20” wide and 11” so it is just the right size to be there where that triangular shelf was. It will be much more serviceable than that triangular shelf. My sweetheart put it together during the afternoon session of conference, Saturday. We also got a wood over the toilet space saver with doors on it. My sweetheart has started to put it together. We may get it put together and in the bathroom today after they finish in there. It really is looking beautiful. We have shower doors on the tub. The vinyl is shades of brown and gold with some dark streaks thro’ it. It looks like it is in squares but is all one piece. The walls are called Hayseed white. It is an off-white with a golden hue to it. We are going back to Bed, Bath and Beyond to get a shorter mirror. I had originally gotten a full length mirror but with the taller cabinet (the white one) it won’t fit there. I remember seeing one with a tarnished silver frame that is a 2 ½ or 3 foot mirror that will look very nice. It is more expensive but it will go well with the room. I need it so I can see the back of my hair.

The work at the FHC is going well. We didn’t go Saturday because of conference. I found the passenger list and passport application for Johann Wendel, my great grandfather, when he came from Germany and then went back to Germany for his mission. It is now linked to my PAF program. I found it on Ancestry.com. I’ve been able to help a few of the patrons that have come in and also many of the new missionaries. I’m so thankful that the Lord has given me the gift of knowledge and remembering and teaching and so I can do that. I attribute my being able to do so entirely to Him.

We are truly blessed.
