Rylan asked if I was going to sign him up for basketball. I told him I'd love to, but the doctor said he can't. He ran off. We couldn't find him. I found him hiding behind the chair in the piano room. He did not want to talk or hear anything we said. He finally came out when Brian said, "Let's go golfing." I'm sad for him. He loves basketball.

A week ago I was helping James give his talk in Primary. The talk paper looked like this, "The Priesthood blesses girls and boys, young and old, and EVERYONE!" As I whispered and prompted James along he shouted the word "EVERYONE" into the microphone. I started laughing. Then I couldn't stop laughing. I was so embarrassed. I couldn't get a grip! I looked at Brian sitting in the back for help. He just put his hand up. I glanced at the Primary president. No help there. James was baffled. I finally pulled myself together and got through the rest of the talk. I asked the secretary if that meant We wouldn't have to give a talk for awhile as I left the room. Nope! Not with all our kids in there! Next time Brian has to help.

Our kids mix up words and sometimes it's pretty funny. James asked me if a food item was inspired. Rylan asked if a food item was extinct.

We got a new stake president. Darin Carver. This is Chase's dad. I know he'll do a great job, but I will miss him as our bishop. He has really helped us. Last year when Brian was not doing very well he came to our home late at night to visit with just Brian and I. He is very in tune with the Spirit and was very helpful. One thing he said to me that I still lean on for comfort was, well I need to share some back story. I was driving and at a stop light waiting to turn left. I was the only driver in our home at the time. I was waiting for the cars to pass through so I could turn left across the road. the cars passed and I should have gone, but felt to wait. Then a mini van flew through it's red light from my left. If I had pulled out, I would have been hit directly. It really frazzled me. I prayed and thanked God for protecting me. What would my family do if I could not take care of everyone? The thought really panicked me. I was also having pain around my torso. Like someone was squeezing me. It was worse at night when I tried to sleep. Anyway, I was starting to really worry that something would keep me from taking care of my family. I think the bishop was in tune because he boldly said to me, "Anjie, I promise you in the name of the Lord, that nothing is going to happen to you! You will raise your children and the gospel will be taught around the world through them." The pain I felt went away. Whenever I start to worry, I remember that. That has continued to bless me. Rylan's heart condition is likely genetic and we know Brian's heart is fine. I know I need to be checked and that promise has kept me calm about it. He also recently gave me a blessing when we first learned that Rylan would start medication and that his heart issue had become more significant. In that blessing he assured me two times that Rylan's heart would not worsen. As I have read and learned more about it, man alive, that has really helped me to not freak out. Especially as it takes the dr forever to call me back and answer questions. I know these are super personal experiences and not really something I usually write on my blog. I have kept them in my heart, but I really don't want to forget the words that were said.
