Laudry Laundry, and One Never Ending Cold....

Before you read this blog entry you must promise not to get grossed out.

So why has Kendra not updated her blog. Thats simple... I feel like my life has been consumed with trying to rid my body of bugs. Yep you heard that right.

To start off with I have been fighting a nasty cold, or something. It started a month ago. After a round of antibiotics it has come back. The Doc seems to think it something with my sinuses. So come Monday morning I will have a pretty CT picture of my sinuses. Lets hope we can find a good solution...and a surgery free one.

Now to the real bug problem. From my fun babysitting adventures I managed to pick up scabies. No worries I cant pass them on to you. But the fun has been in skin treaments weekly followed by washing all my bedding. Washing all my clothes, etc. Shot me now. My neighbors caught them from a hotel.

Here is some hints for traveling...

- Check the beds, you cant see skin mights but you can see signs of bed bugs
- Wash all your clothes strait from taking them out of the suit case, dont put even clean ones away into your dresser
- Never sleep with the comforter at hotels, they dont get washed every time
- Never leave your clothes out on the floor or beds at hotels
- Keep your suitcase off of the floor and beds, if thats not possible put them on plastic
- I would suggest packing your clothes in space saver or zip lock bags
- Always keep your suitcase zipped
- And if your really anal, which I think I might become, bring your own fitted sheets

Trust me these simple steps are so much easier then loads of laundry, itchy rashes, etc.

Remember I told you not to be grossed out.

Oh so I have been up to some fun. I saw a great movie last weekend called "Taken." Plus my calling is going great. Its a lot of work but worth it. I hope the blessing I recieved while being set apart comes true. Cause this calling is a lot of work the promised pay back of progessing towards marriage would so be worth it.

PS. FHE is a lot of work but worth the effort and time. Even if you can not do it on Monday set some family time aside each week. And Sundays dont count. Even if you dont have kids yet still do it. The time set aside for gosple learning and some family bonding are worth it.

Maybe One Day...

Im letting my blog backround show my hearts wish. I would so much rather be on the beach then sitting in my jamies in blankets. Or at least I would love a warm day out side.

Really.....

Ok so I saw this news story. To me its a little offensive but also really funny at the same time.
PS. If this was true I most not be going to the right services on Sundays cause I have never been taught this.

Defense asks for no Mormons on murder trial jury
February 11th, 2009 @ 10:10am
OGDEN, Utah (AP) -- An attorney for a man charged with aggravated murder have filed a motion to keep off the jury any members of the Mormon church who might believe that the only way for him to be forgiven by God is to be executed.
Sharon Sipes, a public defender for Riqo Perea, filed the motion in 2nd District Court. She says a belief among members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is that the only way to receive true forgiveness from God after committing a serious offense is to shed one's own blood.
Sipes says that although the church has indicated blood atonement isn't part of official doctrine, members widely believe it.
Perea, 21, is charged with two counts of aggravated murder in a gang-related 2007 shooting. Perea could face the death penalty.

A Letter to God

Dear God-

My first question for you this day is how did man go so astray and become so selfish?

I know that you are extremely aware of the situation we have created for our selves at this time. We have turned our back to your basic teachings. We got in our minds an idea of how we need to live in order to be happy. We began to feel we needed wealth, nice cars and homes. We have turned our backs on you. We have turned our backs on our fellow men.

Our selfish desires and life styles created in us a deep monster. We truly began to believe that wealth or at least creating the image of wealth is what we need to be happy. As our lives continued and hard days came and we were not happy we bought more, sought more worldly items…and on and on. Though inside our selves we never found happiness….so we continued to seek it.

As we strove for this “happiness” we created a life for our selves we could never afford, gained credit card debt, bought homes, cars, etc. that we could never truly payback. As the debt grow we never saw the day we could not pay it back.

Today that day has come. Those who could never afford their selfish desires have filed for bankruptcy, lost homes, etc. As a result of these desires the economy is falling. Families are losing jobs, services are being cut, etc.

We are now in a day of crisis. Push has come to shove. Now is the time for men to reach out to one another. However man is concerned only for themselves. The rich wont adjust their lifestyles. High level CEO refuse salary cuts, pay them selves bonuses. At this time man is holding in their own wealth, wont help those are in need. At a time with great hardships man seems to being drawing into their selfish shell. It seems like we are in a day of each man for them selves. No one seems willing at this time pull together, work together to find the solution.

When did we become so selfish? When did the day come that man became concerned with only themselves? Where did we go wrong?

We have created this problem for our selves. How now can we make this right?

God please help us to change our hearts. Help us to change our desires that we can see others before our selves. Help us to change our selfish desires. Help us to learn to give and sacrifice for the sake of ensuring we can all pull out of this.

Help us God that we can regain humanity.

I know miracle have not ceased. Today is the day for the greatest miracle. Bless us that the we can pull out of the situation we have created. Bless that the impact of the desires of selfish men can come to end.

Heavenly please bless us with greatest miracle ever…bless us with the change of heart. Bless that we can find where true happiness lies.

Heavenly please bless us with a change of heart……

….Where did we go wrong.

Good Luck Matt!!

My Little brother Matt entered the MTC on January 28th!!! He will be spending the next two years serving the lord in Baton Rouge Louisana.
