Pres Monson, Visiting teaching and funny phone call

I was kind of down today, and it was raining with mighty wind and the water was hitting the bank soooo walking was out of the question. So I went upstairs to do the elliptical and decided to watch part of Conference. I watched Pres Monsons talk from Sunday Morning session. I was thinking as he was talking, "this is our Prophet, this is what the Lord wants us to hear today." I know that is obvious, but it hit me hard this morning. I was greatly moved by the talk and wonder if that was why the weather was the way it was, I needed the talk.

I was going to go Visiting Teaching today so I thought "I will download Pres Monson's talk and share that." We were going to an inactive lady that we had never met. We came to her house about the same time her son came home from school. We didn't know him of course, but he knew we were coming I think and kind of hid around the corner. We couldn't see the address so guessed where she lived. We pounded on the door twice and no answer. I had some home made bread that I wasn't going to leave on the porch if it wasn't the right house. We went back downstairs and walked further down looking for an address, there was the boy trying to hide but not acting like it. We asked him if he knew the woman we were going to visit and he said it was his mom. That is when I realized he was hiding. We asked if she was home and he said she should be. So we followed him up the stairs to the apt. we had tried and he went in while we stayed on the porch. He came back with this look on his face like he was trying to look like he was telling the truth and said he guessed his mom wasn't home after all. I left my loaf of bread and told him to tell her that we came by. I felt bad for the boy.

Anyway EVERYONE aught to read that article. It was so good, he talked about not being fearful and being of good cheer no matter what the situation. I am so grateful for a prophet and that Heavenly Father loves us so much that he gave us a prophet so we will always know what Heavenly Father wants us to do and know

On a lighter note, we always call Amy during the commercials of American Idol or she calls us. Tonight about half way through, the commercial came on, the phone rang and Steve answered saying, "Hey dude what did you think?" He said it was silent, so he said "What, didn't you like it?" Then a girl said she was calling about our beach house. We both busted out laughing and profusely apologized for our mistake. Needless to say we waited until caller ID showed us who was calling from then on.

Well, I love you all am so grateful for you all!
