Prayers today are being said for my mother-in-law as she has her first chemo treatment. I will keep you posted on how she does through this tough time and again thanks for the prayers and support during this time.
Today I have also once again been shown the kindness, love and blessings of friendship. We found two bags on our doorstep this morning filled with thoughtful tokens of kindness and help for us during this tough time we have been having due to the strike issue. We were so surprised and thankful and it really struck a chord. I have been thinking all day about friendship and kindness and truly living the Gospel. We are very blessed to have such wonderful family members that help take care of us when we need it and are a huge support system. But, we are even more blessed to have such wonderful friends that support us and help us through the good and the hard times. This whole experience has made me so humble and thankful and trusting in truly God's plan to get us through each and every day. The material things may come and go, but true friendship and love remain and will get us through the darkest of times. I only hope that I am as good of a friend as all of you have been to us. I hope that one day we will have the opportunity to follow this loving example and help someone else when they are in need. So thanks again for the goodies, the help, and most of all the prayers and offerings you are doing on our behalf!!

Yummers
Last night I made some homemade applesauce from apples my mom had given me. She had made some earlier in the week and it was so good!! We loved eating it while it was still warm too...and it looks so pretty. The recipe was easy (thanks mom)..core apples and cut into pieces. Then put in a pot with about 1-2 cups water and boil until very soft. I boiled with a cinnamon stick in water. Then take stick out, and blend apples in blender until smooth and no skin pieces remain. It turns a pretty pink color. Then add about 1 cup sugar, couple teaspoons of cinnamon and fresh grated nutmeg to taste. IT IS SO GOOD.
