"What do you need me to do?"

One of the ways we have been asked to prepare for General Conference was to ask God where He needs us, what He wants us to do.  I have done that but felt like I wasn't getting any inspiration.  I haven't felt well, so much of my time was spent trying to get on top of things again and I felt perfectly fine crocheting and watching Hallmark movies as I needed the break.  But time clicked on and still no response to my prayers.

Then as the news hit that we were short of PPE's for the medical staff, my focus turned to masks and how I could make some.  I spent a fair amount of time researching the most effective kind and came up against a few very negative Facebook posts that they were of no value.  I finally decided to make them anyway, as Candice was having to reuse masks for multiple days and multiple rooms.  I was able to take my first batch up to her a week ago.

Then right after that, the area Mission President asked our ward to sew 50 for the missionaries.  Quality Market needed some and then a few ward members also asked, including Sherri for Diamond D.  I have spent the past 3 days mostly at the sewing machine.

I was feeling very badly that I wasn't getting inspiration as to where He needed me, and yet the opportunity was dumped right in my lap.  I didn't feel any extra "spirit" leading me it was just where I naturally went.  I would say that this time I was lead where my natural desires lead me with worry about Candice and others, but I look back knowing I went where He needed me to go.

Trimming apple tree

Candice's Granny Smith was in need of a good trimming.  She was going to ask Taylor but Dean said he didnt have the saw anymore so we ran up to support her.
Amidst this virus we were crazy careful.  She fixed roast and vegetables for us and we enjoyed the meal and work at a distance.

It has been almost a week ago now, with no signs of her or us having the virus Covid 19.  We continue to be very careful.
Millard has two cases on the other side but we do not want to get it with our histories.

We went up and back quickly.  I made Candice a few masks in the morning and then we headed up by 2:30.  It wouldn't give us much time to work before needing to head home, but I didn't want to miss conference on Saturday.

We have been looking forward to General Conference for 6 months.  President Nelson said it would be unforgettable.  I don't think he meant Corona Virus.  With our excitement we took the van up, carrying my little trailer and cut out about half of the tree, hawling the branches back to Delta to burn and make "Priests" out of.

I was also able to bring Jarad's Go Goffer up to him.  He seemed pleased with the end results.
