I do have good news though! I forgot to put in a video last week, but I'm remembering today! Recently Alexa (Amazon Echo) learned a new skill, which is to let you talk to Pikachu! Brooke really likes talking with pikachu, and especially likes when it sings happy birthday and tells her stories.
On Monday BYU had a big time basketball game against St. Mary's in the WCC tournament. That means everyone had to show their team spirit all day! The game didn't start until 9:30, and we figured BYU would lose since St. Mary's beat us twice already this year, so we didn't intend to stay up. Winry had other ideas, and I was up holding her until 2 minutes left, so I got to watch the whole game, and WE WON! It was pretty exciting and gave me hope for the game against Gonzaga the next day, but Gonzaga said "no thanks, bro" and rolled us... sigh... Anyway, you can't see Winry's shirt, but she and Brooke had matching shirts.
Monica ordered some cleaning stuff from Norwex that came this past week. Brooke is always interested to see what is in packages, and was excited to get to clean, so Monica got the window cloth wet and let her go to work!
On Thursday Monica and a bunch of her friends had a zoo day! Brooke wore her flamingo mask to the zoo. This is one of the masks that Monica made for Brooke's birthday, and just recently she's loved wearing it! She also really likes flamingos right now because of her book called "Pink Lion." It's about a pink lion, and he lives with flamingos, so whenever we see flamingos we always refer to them as "Arnold's family." This also includes the lawn flamingos in the yard around the corner, and we always have to walk by the house when we go out even though it's not really on the way to anything.
Also, Winry may have been smiling a little before, so I may have mentioned it before, but this past week she really turned those cheeks on! Here is my attempt at getting a picture of her when I was making her smile... I think I missed the moment. This is the only picture in the blog this week that I actually took... and in the end Monica's video is far superior... Maybe I should just stop taking pictures...
Anyway, I think that's about it for us out here. Today we had a lesson about repentance. Repentance is very important, and we should all repent every day. This helps us to be able to work on issues as they come up, and hopefully make goals and progress every day. We also talked about having Godly sorrow when we repent, which is something I feel I need to work on, especially with daily repentance. Sometimes I feel like when repenting daily it's easy to gloss over the things you did wrong or need to improve and just move on. It's very important to take time to reflect on what you did wrong, why you need to improve, and how you can do better or avoid the situation. I know that through repentance we can find peace in our lives and come closer to Christ and our Heavenly Father. I share this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
