Wow! Another Week??

Last week went by soooooo fast. Where did my days go? What did I do to take up all my time?
I'll start backwards...yesterday there was a fund-raising meal at church and in the afternoon a friend and I spent the afternoon talking about the "Five Languages of Love". She told me how she always thought her dad didn't love her because he's a quiet guy who doesn't show alot of affection. He is a gift-giver and she didn't realize that that was the way he was expressing his love to her. We talked for a while longer...we are both "quality time" people.
Friday and Saturday I was at an ACSI leadership conference. It was a very interesting time of learning and fellowship. I felt "free" of the "mommy" distractions of a two year old and enjoyed the discussions and the time away.
Monday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings I have meetings with different people in the mission and in school. Edson gladly goes "visiting" with other friends from church. Lately, he has been enjoying his time with others. (Several months back he would scream if I left him with another family. Now he likes it.)
Last Tuesday Oscar went to San Pedro to butcher a small cow. He brought back three rubbermaid bins of meat that we hurried to package and store in the freezer. Last year when we butchered I didn't buy meat until November! Every day I have to move it a little bit here and there or it will all freeze together and be impossible to take out or thaw in the future.
Thursday nights we read a book with the kids. That's our family activity for the night and they usually love it. We are reading The Life God Blesses by Jim Cymbala and we are all enjoying amazing stories and testimonies included.
Fridays the teens all meet at church for handball and soccer. A small group of guys (my kids included) are working to pay off their Easter Camp with food sales on Friday nights. I started up a prayer meeting with "mothers of teens" that night since our teens are already there playing. This Friday the guys are ALL coming to our house to make CHIPAS. I will teach them how...they will do the work!
So...these are my activities. In just a bit, I'm off to our Monday Morning Missionary Meetings.
