No freaking Out!!!

JANUARY 15 2017

Whaz up Buddy?

How's my missionary? I really hope all turned out ok with your emergency. I'm hoping you will elaborate. 

So this last week was a week of things....but I am so grateful for the Power that Heavenly Father gives me because I was able to do very well, (I think anyway). 

So, Lexie had parent preview on Monday. It was hilarious cuz she picked Zac to be the shadow. He was funny. He did so good with emotion and jazz run and all. Ha Ha. I will send it to you. If you can't listen to the song, then just watch with no sound.... Ha Ha. Anyway, Lexie did their evaluation yesterday and did really good. She was way excited cuz she didn't drop anything. They just got results from the eval and found out they were bumped down a category. So they have to change their routine and subtract 45 seconds from it for the lower category. They are bummed but will do good I think. 

So on Tuesday I got my hair colored and cut. I added more blonde to it. I'm still trying to get used to it. 

Wednesday I did my big presentation for work and it went REALLY well. I was very happy. This week we have a Western States Conference. We put together a video instead of a skit. I may have already told you that but it turned out good. It's to the S-A-F-E-T-Y dance song. We had people pretending to be old people dancing and Kris and I come in with our safety vests to save them and give them a walker, cane and safety stuff. Ha Ha. It was funny. We'll see how the group responds to it on Wednesday. 

But Wednesday night was a trial.....and I will have you know that I THINK I handled it really well. Dad brought in the mail and I opened up a letter which proceeded to say that Select Med received a letter from Dad's employer to terminate WENDI's health insurance.......WHAT....????

Needs less to say I was in a state of shock. I couldn't figure out how come Dad would terminate my Health insurance. I didn't freak out though. I tried to stay calm and kept saying a prayer in my head that it will all work out and Heavenly Father would help me. I really did feel calm inside. Although I couldn't think of how come Dad would ever delete me from the insurance. So Dad racked his brain to think of what he did. He remembered he was trying out different scenarios with the insurance and had taken me off to see how much it would be without me. He said he did it and then got really busy at work and never thought of the insurance again until later after the deadline of making changes. He said when he remembered it was passed he felt like something wasn't finished but didn't think of it again.

So when we got the letter he remembered. So I just prayed that everything would work out. My insurance wouldn't be available to pick up until April with my work. I actually had an appointment I needed to go to the next morning on Thursday and without insurance, I couldn't go. So that was a HUGE blessing that I actually read the letter that my insurance was gone before I went to the appointment and ended up owing like thousands of dollars. So I thanked Heavenly Father for that. 

Since I couldn't go to my appointment I went to the temple thurs morning. It was very nice. I LOVE THE TEMPLE!!!! I can't miss a week. It's such a strength to me. 

Anyway, dad called the company and figured out a way to get me back on the insurance and it should be all fixed and will show that I have insurance in about 2 weeks. Yay! See, Heavenly Father helps us and I didn't even spend time with worrying. I was so proud of myself. 

Thursday night I went to a Provident Living class our Stake put on and we talked about Being Prepared. It made me really want to go through all of our emergency stuff and make sure it is all put together. I started gathering stuff on Saturday. I even cleaned out the Laundry room. the counters are actually clean..... Can you believe that? I don't know what has gotten into me but I feel compelled to organize our house and get rid of stuff that we don't need. It feels really good to have things clean!!!! Yay. 

Anyway, sorry this letter is probably boring but I just am so grateful for the gospel and for the things I know. the things we are taught to be prepared and that The Lord is in charge of everything. I trust in him so much and really don't know how I would live without him. HOw do people do it??? I feel so bad for them. 

Anyway, I have a way cool story that Rhet our home teacher told us but I think my letter is way too long for you already. I'll type it up and send it this week. 

Tell me how you are doing/??? I'm so grateful for you and all that you are doing on your mission. I KNOW that you are where you need to be. I can't believe how much your mission will bless your life. 

LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!
