Selina Slim and son, Tachoney West of White Mesa

• "Here is our little garden. Me  n  ma son. We luv it very ! Thanks 4  helping us  its means a lot 2  us :-)"

  This is the text and the picture Elder Olson got this morning.  How would you like to try and garden where they are?  Look how happy they are and how the garden is growing.  Her husband took the picture and they sent it to Elder Olson with that little note.

  
  

  Selina Slim and son, Tachoney  West of White Mesa.  Elder Olson had one of those orchestrated days when he went to see Peter and Lulu Chee and Selina happened to be there when he stopped by to see how things were going.

  
  

  She expressed interest in what the church could help provide for her and her family, and set up an appt for a few days later.  They had a garden in place with a fence up, They tilled in some fertilizer, and put in the irrigation.  Since she is closer to Kaibeto, Elder Olson referred her to the Rigbys in Kaibeto. 

  Alma 13:24

  • 24 For behold, angels are declaring it unto many at this time in our land; and this is for the purpose of preparing the hearts of the children of men to receive his word at the time of his coming in his glory.

  
  

  Her husband had been out of work for a while, but is now working part time in Page.  Elder Olson explained that they had been doing what they could to establish a garden, but it was an uphill battle.  Then the Lord orchestras his day and he has resources that they need and he is able to share those with them.  We can have our agendas in place, but aren't we grateful when the Lord does it His way and we get to be a part of a greater plan for the day.

  
  

  Alma 37:6

  • 6 Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise.
    Yes, I know we are on "vacation", but aren't we glad that Heavenly Father never goes on vacation.
