Not much going on today. I was home most of the day and then ventured out to go over to Hank and Lori's to get some Kangen Water. I appreciate drinking the best water anywhere and their generosity. I get to see them and the Ks often which is rewarding.
I used to have to buy the water at a couple of health food stores.

I also went over to visit with Matt and Beth at her mom and dad's. They came unexpectedly from Seattle and are sadly here to go to Beth's nephew's funeral. He was about five years old and suffered from a fall and died this past Saturday. It was tragic. My heart goes out to her brother and wife, the parents, Byron and Monique and Tyson their older son who is only seven. The services will be on Wednesday when they say their last goodbyes.

Cole and Ethan were napping when I got to Wilson's. So we visited for a while before the boys woke up. Cole was a little shy and Ethan was clinging to Beth, and a mama's boy. That is just fine and a good thing really. Matt helps out a lot with the boys and is a good father, as Beth is also good mother as well.

We hope to have some family activities while they are here like a mini-reunion. We have a few things planned for next week to get together too.

Family Night

Aaron and Candice had family night, and Aaron and Ella taught the lesson about the three degrees of glory. They also talked about the plan of happiness. He also talked a little bit about Cadein, Beth's nephew. The girls understand enough to know he has died and Ella talked about resurrection on her own.

I am pleased that all my grandchildren have been taught by their parents and used their agency to teach their own children the gospel principles. It is a joy for a grandmother such as myself to see my children and grandchildren walk in truth.

We all make a conscious effort to cling to the Iron Rod and look to the Savior embracing his atonement and sacrifice for us. We know we will see our loved ones again who have gone before and it is through Christ that makes it all possible.

I am thankful to have the gospel in my life and know it is God's plan for all of us to be happy and we can perfect ourselves and become like Him.
