I wrote a post last week. And published it. But it must’ve published to the trash because it has disappeared. So I’ll try and remember what I wrote, but I’ll start off with this week.
It has been so nice to have Andy around. We (as in mostly he) got the garage organized (while I was busy chasing kids around). We got our 72 hr kits ready (this really was a “we” project. I studied my scriptures last week and came across 4th Nephi when they described the people as everything opposite to what we’re facing today. I wanted to get a deeper understanding of the scripture and retain it better so I read it slowly and looked up the words that I don’t use on a normal basis and only understood due to context. The word “tumult” is another word for riot. When I read that I felt like this election could potentially cause riots one way or another and told Andy we needed to get our stuff updated. We spent a pretty penny and a good part of several days organizing and gathering, but we now feel confident we could survive in an emergent situation.

That’s all for this week. I am interested to see what the next four years brings. I wasn’t a huge fan of Trump, but I’m not sure Biden will be any better. I hope if anything, we can put aside our differences and strive to be more unified in our homes and communities. If we start there then I am sure that we as a nation can work together to regain peace and prosperity.
