May I start this journal entry by saying how angry I feel at crooks, thieves and swindlers? We discovered some fraud at the credit union today, but not before our member had lost $8,000. And why? Because our member he gave his online banking user ID and password to someone who said they could help him earn some easy money. I'm not sure which feeling is stronger – anger at the crooks for being so selfish and dishonest, or disbelief at my member that anyone could be so foolish as to give out their online banking credentials. Aaaurrrgh!
In other news, I love having toast and tomatoes for lunch every day. I supplemented with fresh strawberries from our garden in yogurt. If I could really get good at gardening, I might be tempted to become a vegetarian! (Small chance of that happening in this life!)
Before dinner I went on a short walk with Isaac, Emma, Camilla and Nathaniel. We talked with Bro. and Sis. Knowles. I gave some movie tickets to the Bates tonight to thank them for being so kind to our children, and asked for a couple zucchini from their garden to go in our chicken noodle soup. The soup was amazing. After dinner I gave Nathaniel a bath. I worked on a stake blood drive today. I still need to prepare an email letting people know about an upcoming Self-Reliance program.
Thankful: I'm thankful that my irritations and problems are generally limited to dealing with others' problems, like my member losing $8k. As frustrating as that problem is, it's not life and death. No one's eternal salvation is at stake (well, maybe the swindler, but he is not in my circle of concern or influence). And my family is healthy and secure.
Ministering: Bates and Knowles. See above.
More later…
No photos today, so I chose one from the archive.
