I had the MOST interesting morning while visiting teaching.  I visit teach two women who happen to be neighbors.  They are both in their sixties.  I could sit and listen to their life stories forever!  One woman is from Brazil (originally from Portugal), is a lawyer, and has a fascinating family!  As soon as she started telling me about her petite, 89-year-old aunt in Portugal, my imagination was captured. I think her story would make a fabulous book.  Maybe I should write it.  Ha ha.  But seriously, I felt a spark as she told me her story.  I'm still dreaming about it.

Then it was next door for another interesting hour.  With both women, I shared a spiritual thought and we talked about things of importance.  I felt their wisdom and testimonies from a lifetime of living the gospel.  I came home buzzing with a happy feeling.

In the evening, Miles finally got his arrow of light award at Pack Meeting.  He earned it a few months ago, but this was the first pack meeting where we could all be there.  I was so proud of him.  And I also had to promise (as part of the ceremony) that I would help him continue on to his Eagle Scout award, never wavering.  I promised.  Oh boy!

Miles earned his "Arrow of Light"

This is a bunch of the Cub Scouts (8-11), and Austin (just turned 8), one of the newest Cub Scouts, is standing among them (with his black Maui shirt).  He is THE tallest in the entire pack!  And the youngest!  Crazy!!

I love my little boys.  I'm so grateful that I'm their mom.  I "promise" I'll always be with them, every step of the way.  Absolutely!
