I still haven't seen a bluebonnet... I'll keep you posted.

We walked into a washateria to talk to some of them- it is great way to start up a conversation and they can't get away while their laundry is in washer...just kidding...but seriously.

I walked in to see an old friend (as of three weeks) Rosemary. She is a regular washer on saturdays and comes to wash with all five of her kids. We began talk about what is new since last week and I offered to fold her clothes ( how my mother taught me to serve) She said no it's alright out of politeness but I saw the need and began to fold (also how my mother serves). We began to talk about her family and husband. I have been taught that there is gospel truth that can tie into any aspect of another's lives and I began to search and listen to the spirit as to what I might say because three weeks ago she was't interested in the church. Because of her faith and desire to learn Heavenly Father blessed me with the inspiration of what I might say... I testified of the divinity of a role of a mother. Motherhood is a way that we can see God's potential for ourselves instead of just looking through our eyes. The Mundane chores of folding laundry, cleaning, wake up and do it again, is not wasted. It is the foundation of service and love and through righeous principles we may see the joy in the journey and enjoy our time with our children.

The spirit was so strong and she recognized it "I've never seen it that way..." I quickly testified that what she was feeling is the Holy Ghost so she could recognize that Love Heavenly Father has for her. We finished folding and packed it in the car. She agreed to have us come over this time and share more of Heavenly Father's plan for us.

I'm so grateful for my mother who taught me how to show how Heavenly Father loves us to others.
