Trials

This week has been an interesting week for me.On Wednesday my brother had his court of honor in Kingman Az. I really wanted to be there. but as I had been in Arizona this summer we could not afford for me to go there again. But it turned out to be a blessing that I did not go because about 1:00 Wednesday morning Alex woke up with a fever and throwing up. So I got to stay up all night with him. Thank goodness for priesthood blessings and herbs. By wednesday evening Alex was feeling like his normal self. But because I was not getting any sleep I developed a cold. On top of this I was asked to speak in church this sunday! So I needed to prepare a talk as well. This is not easy to do when you don't feel well. Saturday afternoon Stephen took the boys somewhere so that I could get some sleep and maybe feel better. When they came home Stephen told me there was something wrong with the car. I had noticed that morning that it was draging at very low speeds. HE said that he had had trouble starting it while he was gone. So Last night I said a prayer that the car would start in the morning so we could go to church. Well this morning I got up and got everybody ready and I made last minute changes to my talk. We all got in the car and the car would not start. We ended up calling our neighbor who let us borrow their other car so we could get to church. I think Someone was trying really hard for me not to give my talk today. It was interesting because all the talks today in sacrament meeting went alonf with the lessons in Relief Society and Sunday School. I amso glad that I made it to church becasue I needed to be there today! I really hope that all that is wrong with our car is the battery. We will find oout when my husband gets home from doing his calling!
