4/21/17 Paperwork and Missionaries

This morning my dad asked me to stop by the Distribution Center to pick up a pocket sized New Testament for our cousin Benny. He has some health challenges and we've been asked to pray for him. While I was there I spotted a pocket Book of Mormon and felt like I should pick up one of those as well. Papa added both into a care package. I hope that Benny is able to receive strength from these wonderful books.
Heidi still wasn't quite 100% so she had to miss out on this morning's visit with Gram and Papa. We missed her steadying influence and her organization skills. We efforted gathering the required paperwork for the loan team. It was a little bit of a hassle but things are going well. We can't wait to hear about the appraisal.
This evening we were joined by Elder Parsons and Elder Maughan for dinner. We had spam rice and eggs. It was Elder Maughan's first time having spam. Elder Parsons had it when he was a student at BYU Hawaii. After dinner they shared a message about Easter and the Atonement of Christ. What an amazing blessing that we can repent and be an eternal family.
This evening the kids reminded us of our plan to play a board game. We actually played multiple games. Rebecca and some of the kids played Monopoly. Mom and David played checkers. Then he and I played chess. While I did that Mom joined Rebecca in the Monopoly game. We went to bed with a good feeling in the house. It feels like it comes from everyone loving each other and showing each other kindness. It was a good day.
