San Diego Weekend

We went to San Diego this weekend for some rest and relaxation. Kirk and Bob drove over and I flew in on Friday. We wanted to take Kirk because he is still recovering from Valley fever. He is still a bit weak but he's coming along. We had a great time on Saturday at Phil and Mindy Wing's watching the BYU game! Once again a shut out! Some fellas from the ward came over and made it just a great event. It was almost better than being at the game! Phil had just installed DirectTV so it was the inagural showing and Phil was in Provo at an alumni meeting and was at the game. We had fun without him! After the game, Mindy got a wild hair and decided we needed to go buy new couches. Her and I hopped in the truck and bought a loveseat and cound for their family room and it looks great. Everyone was a little nervous about what Phil would say, but she told me he liked them.

We went to church and saw all the friends we've made over the 20 years we've been going to Pacific Beach. Sunday school was again taught by Brother Wallace (who married Mike and Adrienne is Jan!)(he was a seventy and I think he also served as temple president for the San Diego temple) and once again what a great teacher. We were talking about Samuel the Lamanite and he said something that has stuck with me. He said "inspiration" is an idea that comes into your mind but when you receive "revelation" the words will come to you. All the words or the sentence will come into your mind. It struck me because Lauren and I had just been talking about an experience I had in the temple where the words I was to speak came to my mind and to this day I remember them exactly. WOW!! It's amazing how we learn-line upon line!

Excellent point, I haven't heard it defined in that way before. Heavenly Father speaks to us, we just have to listen.
Glad you are back,
Love ya,
Lauren
