It's no fun being sick

All I can say, is that it is awful being sick. I don't think that in the years that Mike and I have been married, we have ever been sick at the same time. But there is a first for everything, and this past week we were both sick. We both had bronchitis something that isn't even contagious, Mike had tonsillitis too. It is even worse when we are both sick, because neither of us can take care of the other. Thankfully we are both feeling a lot better now, and we were sick over fall break, so besides getting a little behind on homework we did not miss that much.

Today was a good day. Mike and I home teach a Deaf couple in our ward and we somehow convinced Brother Moore to come to church today (he has been inactive for many years). I am still amazed that we were able to get him to come. Not sure if he will keep coming, but at least it is a start. The members of our ward are so great that I am positive that he felt welcome and the spirit was very strong today so I am sure that he felt it. Of course I also enjoyed interpreting for them both and I had taught the primary children a song in sign, so they sang that today (it was the primary program). It really was a great meeting.

We spoke with Sister Reed today, she is the Family Services representative in our area. She told us that next year she will be going around to the other wards and branches in the stake with a presentation about LDS Family Services. She asked us if we would be willing to go with her and introduce ourselves to other members of the stake and let them know we are actively "finding" our baby. Of course we said yes. This gives us a great opportunity to let many people know about our desire to adopt. This could open up many opportunities, so it is exciting.
