My latest "project"

I have gotten a little bit excited about coupon shoppping lately. This is my new "bargain book" that will help me keep my coupons organized. This certainly is better than what I have been trying to use.

I have always been a bit of a bargain shopper. I did quite a bit more of it when my kids were younger and I was home more. I have been recently motivated a bit more because of the economy. My best bargain thus far has been cereal for .37. My kids laugh at me when they come home from school and I am very excited about a bargain. One day they will turn into their mother...........I did.

The ward here is awesome we have four more baptisms for next sat. and they were all member referralls that is where we are getting all of our success and there awesome at fellow shipping them when they come to church. it was pretty funny at the temple i had to try on four pairs of pants till i found one that fit im now at about a size 38 it was pretty funny the ward makes fun of me and elder sooalo because were both getting pretty fat but well thanks for all of the love and support and the easter egg it was very good.

Dear Family,These last couple weeks i think i figured out i got dads emotional softy gene there was a couple times these last week where it was harder to control my emotions we went to the hospital a couple of times this week to give some babies a blessing it was kind of hard to see them all in the icu but its amazing how the spirit is strong in there. Then in conference it was amazing I loved all of henry b eyrings talks especially his first one on trials then elder hollands was amazing it was a pretty intense talk. I would have to say my favorite was L tom perrys talk on encouraging members to do missionary work that is the only reason we are having success at this time. times. I liked his talk because it was also directed towards us on opening our mouths we all have a responsibility i liked how he put that. we are truely being blessed with miracles in this ward. Last weeks baptism was good tasha and her brother were excited it was pretty funny in the middle of the baptism the volcano ash started to fall so we tried to hurry it up a bit so everyone could get home and take care of there families. So after the baptism we also had to go in it wasnt that bad we only had to stay in for the rest of the night but it was pretty cool i took a couple of pictures. But this week we have six more people getting baptized and then an 8 yearold to whos brother were teaching its pretty awesome all of these people were member referrals then we also have about 8 other people who are getting close too which we are excited we have alot of people we are also teaching which is good teaching is fun you can always learn something new. me and elder sooalo made a goal yesterday were gonna start running in the mornings because were both getting pretty chubby, but everything is going well we are being blessed with great opportunities which i am greatful for. Sorry mom im a little late on your birthday and i think i also forgot dads happy birthday to you both thanks for all of the love and support have a good easter i forgot it was eater till yesterday but im excited for it it will be an awesome sunday.
