We went to the Stanleys for a potluck and then trick-or-treating again this year. But this time Ruby threw up after dinner so she and I went home and Bob went trick-or-treating with the group. The kids all had a great time. And we were glad it was Ruby who got sick that night because any of the other kids would have been so sad to miss trick-or-treating. The three youngest have all gotten the stomach bug this week. I hope we're almost over it, but we're still seeing the effects.
I'm just about done with my big website conversion. I was supposed to switch it over yesterday, but I ran into a little snag. So I should be able to finish it up tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to having time to do other things.
This weekend was stake conference. I love going to the adult session. I always learn so much. This time Elder Roberts, I think he's an area authority, told a story about a man who whittles figures at scout camp and has a big impact on all the boys he interacts with. The man said "I can't do much, but I can do this" and has been whittling and impacting boys for years. Elder Roberts challenged us to listen to the spirit to know why he told that story. I loved it. I so want to serve and help in the Kingdom, and I know being a mom is so important, but I really feel like I don't do much more sometimes. So this story really touched me because if there is some little thing I can do that will help I want to do it. So as I was praying and reading after conference I was thinking about this and I felt prompted that the little thing I can do is to pray for others. I can look for needs and keep others in my prayers. I can totally do that! And I know that will have an impact on others' lives. So I'm excited to look for opportunities and needs and listen for promptings for who can use my prayers.
