MakeOver



Usually when my life becomes a disaster my room is the first evidence. I realized that bunkbeds were too much clutter. So I took down the bunk beds and let someone from my branch borrow the extra bed.



I also decided that there was not enough light in my bedroom so I had a BRIGHT IDEA:



The light is an exterior house lamp from Walmart. I have actually made two of these. I bought the lamp, an extension cord, and a throw switch. I plugged the cord into the wall to see how high on the wall I could place the lamp...... Big mistake. I forgot to unplug the cord before I cut it. There was a huge spark and the electrical arc melted the scissors and almost spot welded them. Wow. I am blessed to be alive. Wow.


The pieces of my post-engagement life are coming back together, I am still very sad, but doing better everyday. I have a wonderful family and good friends. Life is getting better.





This past Sunday after Stake Conference we had a Birthday Party for President Peters of the Iowa City 3rd Branch. Stake Conference was very good. I could really see the how the Lord was working through his servant to bring a message that could heal and empower me.


Have a nice week.

Maybe you should have used the Spanish sword to cut the electric cord. You wouldn't have had welding issues. I can't wait to see you Tim. I miss you tons! Just 8 more days!
