There is a quote: "LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS.... IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."
With 12 children and 5 adopted from Russia, we have had challenges and trials along with our joys. We have decided that we must
learn how to "dance in the rain." We must notice and acknowledge the joys and miracles in our lives.
They exist daily -- we just need to make sure we do not miss them!! This blog is to remind us of these miracles and joys!

JULY 29, 2014: RS LADIES' NIGHT OUT FOR DINNER

RS LADIES' NIGHT OUT FOR DINNER
JULY 3, 2014

Tuesday night, Amy and I had fun going to a “RS Ladies Night Out.”  A sister in our branch, Jane, has a talent for finding coupons and deals for various restaurants.  Jane is not a member and is Chinese and native to Suzhou!  She is able to attend our branch because her husband is a member.  Jane is such a wonderful lady!   
We had 13 sisters at our dinner and we all sat around a huge round table that had a large spinning “lazy susan” in the middle and we had some Chinese food that was typical of a northern group of people.  We had a spicy fish in a soup, cow stomach, fried potato with a sugar glaze, a green bean dish, pickled greens, chicken with lots of bones, and more.  We all had a wonderful time and enjoyed visiting.  I think when we return to Arkansas that I want to replace our dining table with a large round one that has a big “lazy susan” in the middle.  It is so much easier for serving!!!!  We had a huge and fabulous meal and thanks to Jane’s coupon, it only cost less than 20RMB per person!!! Amazing!  I am excited for Hyrum to get to visit with Jane and Jerwin in our ward who are both local Chinese and members of our branch.
