Starting over again

It would be so easy to write about all the reasons I've been stressing over the last two weeks, and all the fears that have yet to be resolved. Comforted, yes, but not resolved. But you know, it wouldn't help anything, and I certainly wouldn't feel any better. Besides, today is a beautiful day in Provo. Despite the relentless fear that has plagued me the last few weeks, there has also been much joy.

Thursday night, Stephen brought me along to Salt Lake to interview Cathy Gelwix for a surprise video for her husband, Larry. I don't know how many people they asked to do this before Stephen, but since Stephen happens to have the time, and the appreciation of Larry Gelwix that is necessary to create this tribute, he is the one who finally agreed to do it. Yes, for free. Anyway, Cathy is really a delightful lady. I quite enjoyed meeting her, and listening to the interview. When we finished it was quite late, but Stephen wanted to show me where his mission president lived, since it was the same neighborhood. Naturally he couldn't help calling when we got there. Sister Evans was home, but President Evans was at a meeting. She invited us in and we visited for a little while. Just as we were about to leave, President Evans returned home earlier than expected. He was starving, so he started pulling out soup and bread and jam and olives to share with us. I happened to be starving too, which is strange because it was almost 10pm. I left their home feeling so blessed that I was able to get to know them better. They sent us home with a loaf of home made bread, some butter, jam, and lots of frozen peaches.

Earlier on Thursday, I had won tickets to Cowabunga Bay for a pre-season opening party. I had four free tickets, and Stephen was busy working on the Gelwix' video, so I called up Alison and Nell to invite them to come. Alison brought her room mate as well, and we had a blast. The water was nice and warm, even if the air wasn't. I LOVE waterparks. It was such a blessing to go do something so fun, and forget about all the things I've been worried about.

Life is good. I know we were blessed with lots of extras last month, so that we could make it through this month. The Lord is still looking out for us. He always has, He always will. Pretty soon all my worries will be forgotten. In the mean time, I'm learning a lot about faith.
