Grateful Fast Sunday


This fast Sunday I (TSP) am grateful for:  

1.     AJP and BLP.  They make parenting seem easy.  Their flexibility and humor is such a great blessing in this crazy life we lead.

2.     Cooking classes at the CG’s residence.  The CG’s family warmly opens their home and shares their chef to teach cooking classes every few months.  This past month we learned how to cook a few different Brazilian dishes.  It was delicious and so much fun.  The picture above is Virado a Paulista with our niece's version of Flat Stanley.  She accompanied me to the class.

3.      Inspiration from the Holy Spirit.  Last week the relief society president asked me to teach the lesson today.  She wanted me to give a lesson based on Elder Uchtdorf’s talk in the Women’s broadcast.  I was unpleasantly surprised to learn that the talk was not yet available in Portuguese.  I panicked but the Spirit provided me with a wonderful idea of how I could teach the lesson without the written version in Portuguese.

 

**I forgot the mention last time that the idea for this entry came from our friend Leslie.  Thank you, Leslie!!**
