Today feels like Saturday, however I'm happy that it's not because it means I have one more day to plan my talk for Sacrament tomorrow. I've spent a good portion of today and yesterday accumulating quotes and experiences that would be good for my talk. I put it in a Google Doc. I have a lot of different things to talk about. My talk is on Testimony, and how a Testimony of the Book of Mormon has blessed my life. I'm still about a third of the way done with my talk written down. Although, when I write talks I write bullet points of things I need to talk about, because I don't believe that talks should be read. Although, I will print out that Google Doc before I go tomorrow as a place for references of things I will be quoting. I have two stories, both from my mission, that I shared with Jacob in his letters. So I have a lot of stuff.
Sarah Rebecca had her surgery today. She called me right after and I wasn't there to answer the phone call. She left me a message. The message was hard to understand, but it essentially said that she loved me and wanted to reach me because she was seeking me out. She definitely sounded like she was on a lot of meds and she sounded out of it. I talked to her for the first time when Mom, Dad and I were out to eat. She wanted me to sing to her. I was trying to think of I'm Yours, but instead I sung her Loving the Shape of You by Ed Sheeran that had just come on that mom likes for the beats but not for the lyrics. Everything went well, no complications, thankfully.
I then talked to her after I took a nap. She was much more herself, upbeat and lovely to talk to. She was waiting for a sandwich to be delivered to her. She had just got her meds from the neighborhood Walmart. She's doing good. It was nice to talk to her.
I also talked to Granny for like 5 seconds just because she was talking to Mom on the phone downstairs about my "girlfriend" so I told her what was what. Also, Aunt Kerry gave me a call and I told her about Sarah and about how she's moving here to Cali.
Mom went to the doctors today. They told her that she is in a Stage Zero form of Cancer.They don't have a treatment for what she has yet. So they are going to continue to monitor her and make sure things don't get out of hand. Her white blood cells are increasing which is a sign of the above, and they are forming into weird shapes. So, hopefully things can be prevented. Mom thinks she had what Grandpa Palmer had, but of course, he didn't die from it, so that's good news
We went to Graziano's Pizza, which was good. Then we went to Dress Barn and Kohl's and Marshall's. Dad was taking his sweet time when he found out that mom was ready to go. We also missed the 15 freeway north from Cherry.
