Update for the Smith Family

WoW - it has been a long 3 weeks and its still ticking.  So I got sick 3 weeks ago and I was grateful to feel good for 3 days and I am now sick & I have pink eye - boo.
Shortly after I got sick everyone else followed - and then the famous hives.  I am VeRy grateful to say it was not a food reaction (but we will still be cautious) It was a caused by a virus.  My three year old Makayla broke out in hives a few days ago and we laid around this weekend watching General Conference (which was AmAzInG!).
And then Monday hit and Bryce woke up with pink eye - seriously. 
But one wonderful blessing did happen yesterday - I called my mom out of frustration and she asked if we could have strep/ scarlatina.  I researched and then I called the doctor had throats swabbed and indeed we have strep.  ThAnKs Mom - your amazing.  So we are now on antibiotics and on the road to healthy - hopefully :)

I loved General Conference and I thought I would share a few of my Favorite quotes:

You are Promised that if you listen to the Holy Ghost you will be protected - Pres. Boyd K. Packer

To God we are everything - Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf

A Promise from Elder David A. Bednar:
You will be protected against the adversary as you participate in the spirit of Elijah (genealogy)

There is No shame in a family having to scrimp and save - Elder Neil L. Andersen quoting Pres. Thomas S. Monson

"I didn't keep a testimony through these trying times the testimony kept me - quoted by Sister Barbara Thompson

Love is Spelled T - I - M - E

This scripture was repeated twice:
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding - Proverbs 3:5

Conference had several more wonderful talks on our Savior Jesus Christ, Trials & Endurance, & who we are - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints & missionary work.

And I close this post with my favorite quote - It's Better to Look Up! Elder Carl B. Cook
