the results are in from the bazaar & it looks like i did better than last year by a lot. i would say i sold about half of my things.however, i am sad to say that mr. o was right in predicting the jars would not sell. i sold 4 of the 57, and those four i believe were to my cousin and her sister-in-law (thank you!).
thanks to all who came to support me, i hope i didn't build it up too much. i had a great time & enjoyed meeting new people.
i wish my sister liesel had had more success, but i would venture to say she learned some things and enjoyed the last day at least.
some other highlights of the weekend include a fun birthday party for miles' friend taydon (complete with pony rides)- thanks jacey & landon!
also, mr. o took us up the canyon for a cold picnic today. and even though it was windy and super chilly, finn kept pulling his shoes/blanket/hat off. we didn't stay long but it turned out to be fun in an unexpected way. i love my little family.

Hope Sustains Us

"The things we hope in sustain us during our daily walk. They uphold us through trials, temptations, and sorrow. Everyone has experienced discouragement and difficulty. Indeed, there are times when the darkness may seem unbearable. It is in these times that the divine principles of the restored gospel we hope in can uphold us and carry us until, once again, we walk in the light."We hope in Jesus the Christ, in the goodness of God, in the manifestations of the Holy Spirit, in the knowledge that prayers are heard and answered. Because God has been faithful and kept His promises in the past, we can hope with confidence that God will keep His promises to us in the present and in the future. In times of distress, we can hold tightly to the hope that things will 'work together for [our] good' (D&C 90:24) as we follow the counsel of God's prophets. This type of hope in God, His goodness, and His power refreshes us with courage during difficult challenges and gives strength to those who feel threatened by enclosing walls of fear, doubt, and despair."
