This week Adam lost his two biggest cleaning accounts. That took his business from a $200,000.00 company to a $22,000.00 company. So between him, and his partner, and cleaning supplies he is now only making about $1,000.00 a month. Rent alone for our family is $1,500.00. So obviously the numbers don't add up. Luckily though, I haven't felt scared or nervous at all. I feel very taken care of and I know the Lord has his hand in all of this. I keep reading and hearing things about how we go through trials in life to build us and make us stronger. I hope to conquer this. I don't want to say, "Oh poor us!" Instead I'm desperately trying to find opportunities to serve those around me, go to the temple, learn how to really make meals with the food we already have in the house, and count my blessings. Today, I went outside to take the water from the swimming pool and pour it into the garden. When I got down close, I found a TON of peas that were ready for me to pick. My heart swelled as we have little produce in our house. I know these peas wont last long as we will all be so excited to eat these, but it was just a little reminder of Christ's love for my little family. Definitely a huge daily dose of happiness shining down on us. I'm so glad to have a garden and for the joy it brings to take care of it and watch it grow. The primary song says, "and if we plant the seeds just right and tend them carefully, before we know, good things will grow to feed our family."

The Prophet Said to Plant a Garden!
