I love when my husband is invited to speak because they pay our traveling expenses. We get to sleep at hotels that have pools, and as a Californian living in Arizona, I miss water. My kids are finally becoming more brave in water and love water as much as I do.
Before we left I had to pull a bunch of weeds (4 hours of pulling weeds in bright, hot sunshine) but not just any weeds. Pigweed, a.k.a ragweed. I happen to be highly allergic and the whole time I had snot running down my nose, I was sneezing, eyes and throat itching, the works. At night my nose had run out of liquid so it was completely plugged up and I had a horrendous night of sleep. I woke up with an awful headache.
But lo, and behold, the power of refreshing water. After taking 7 chewable low dose aspirin and spending an hour and a half in the relaxing water with my kids, I felt like a new person. The grouchy, tired, exhausted person I was, transformed into a happy, relaxed, eager to embrace our vacation mommy.
David spoke at the SOULS graduation on Thursday evening at the Ontario convention center. We got to see a bunch of people we love and miss and had a wonderful time. Listening to all the colporteur testimonies nourished my soul and poured gasoline on my faith. I truly, deeply, miss my colporteur family.
I didn't get many pictures except for this last one at the end. I'm thankful that periodically my kids get to play with Amber, Esther, Savannah and Heidi. They are all such good kids and are just delightful to be around. I love being with other moms who have similar values and parenting styles. I'm always so inspired and blessed.
