4/21 (Monday)
Took Evan to the Podiatrist and he said everything looks good and that we were instructed to go back in two weeks to take everything off. Evan still needs to wear his boot in the meanwhile which he really is not too fond of as the weather is getting warmer. As the Dr. was changing Evan's bandages, he asked about my children because he is sending his daughter off to college this fall. I told him that Jeannie, our oldest went to BYU and is currently serving a mission in SF. He asked if we are Mormon and I said yes... then he carried on with a conversation about some Dr. he did the residency work with years ago are Mormons and he was really impressed with their work ethnics. It's good to hear from other people's comment on our members who were great examples. I hope we are keeping the standard high. :)
4/24 (Thursday)
So, I went to scripture study today and Susan Coox lead a discussion on visiting teaching. I thoroughly enjoyed the discussion and brought back the good memory of Rachelle Dunforx. We just moved to Lewisville not long after we graduated, and I hardly knew anyone in the ward. We were expecting our 3rd child but then I lost the baby after a car accident. I was a clam and totally shut people out the door, but this visiting teaching would climb all the way to the third floor to come and take me and the kids for a check up and entertained Jeannie as I was at the Dr's office. She was so incredible!!! I would never forget how much I appreciated her genuine service and I kept telling her thank you. One of the remarks she made stuck in my mind was "I bet you would do the same too!" That statement remains in my heart for the rest of my life!
4/25 (Fri)
Dad turned 65 today!!! Can't believe he is getting old... to me he is still the dad that I've known 20+ years ago. I often wonder when I will be able to take care of them, and I was hoping that as we were serving at the church, we'll be able to call home to serve a mission and take care of our parents. :( And I doubt they wanted to give up everything to stay with us for the rest of their life.
Had a really nice discussion with Mia today on how we learned not to judge but to take a higher road and be with those who sinned to help them feel loved. Because of the choice of Miriam, many members or even herself feel uncomfortable being at the church. My thoughts has always been with them -- "How could I not love them when they already felt so bad about what they did? -- in her case being pregnant without married. Michelle G. as well.... not that she doesn't believe, she is weak to break bad habits such as smoking. How could I cast judgement on them when they are already struggling.

Easter Sunday
Went to church early this morning and practice with the choir. They sang okay... as we all knew that more rehearsals were needed but a few members insisted that they were ready to perform so they kind of ignore the pleadings from the rest of the choir members. I hope the experience had taught them that singing in the choir is a team effort.
Essential/Not
4/19/2014
Went out to dinner with the Greens and took a quick stop at Wawx for a smoothie. A teenage boy with his younger brother were standing in front of me trying to pay for their sandwiches and juice bottles with a card. The cashier asked how much he has in his card because it wouldn't go through. I wasn't aware of what's going on at first until I saw this little hand sticking inside the grocery bag taking out a bottle of juice. The older brother tried to slid his card again and the cashier repeated the same saying. This time, the teenager was a little frustrated because he thought there's enough money to pay for everything in his bag the second try. The cashier shook her head and almost instantly the little hand reached to the bag and took out the last bottle of juice.
I turned around and saw this little boy might just be the same age or a little older than Jady. My heart ache... how would I feel if they were my own children? I quickly asked the cashier how much they owed so I could help pay the rest. She said she wasn't able to figure out. I didn't want to see more food being taking away from their bag for there were only two sandwiches left. I told the cashier that I would pay for their food. The teenage boy stood there and didn't know how to react... I paid and told him to take the sandwiches with him.
I told Evan the incident this evening as we were making naan together because Johnny and I felt that he's been spending too much time on the computer looking for stuff to buy. I told him that we don't need much to be happy or to survive. We've been so blessed with abundance of goods while others are struggling with basic needs or just to get by. I hope he understands the lesson here and that he would be mindful in the future with what's essential and what's not.
On The Road to Recovery (4/17, Thur)
It's been a good three days and Evan is doing so much better. He came home the first night after the surgery and had a hard time sleeping because of his pain. The pain is finally subsided after two days, and he is off the pain medication now. It's kind of funny that he is actually pretty well adjusted to using his crutches, so I think he should be ready to go back to school if the Dr. say so tomorrow. :)
Spring Break (4/15, Tue)
It was a pretty relaxing spring break. The mammogram went well and everything is good for another year! :D
Yeah, we made homemade pizzas (anchovie and chicken)! I got the dough from Traders Joe and the kids did a wonderful job cutting up the ingredients and assembling them together. Got to give them an A+ for team working! :)

Evan's Surgery Day
Yes... the office called again at 7:45am that the surgeon would like an x-ray from Evan before the surgery. Great!!!! I told myself.... I am not coming back ever again to your office!
Well, anyway. It's been a long day:
10:15 Dr.'s office for Evan's x-ray
10:30 Surgical Center (paper work and stuff)
10:45-12:15 Meeting with the surgeon, nurse, and waiting for the surgery
12:15 Operation
1:10 Dr. came out from the surgical room with all details of post surgery information.
1:30 The nurse called me at the lobby and walked me back to the pre-op. room (Evan was already awake and eating)
1:50 Evan got dressed and we went home.
Evan thought he was doing pretty well the first few hours as we went home and that we worried too much. He even argued or tried to negotiate with us about walking on the floor is not a bad idea even when the Dr. suggested of minimal activities, elevated feet about hips and ice treatment at the ankle for four days. But as the time goes, his anesthetic started to worn out, he could feel the pain and stitches on his toe. Bless his heart... I pray that he will recover soon.
2:00 Eat and practice piano
4:00 Cook for dinner
6:15 Left to Stake Center for Trek mom and pa meeting (It was fun and I am not too worry about it for now... except the babysitting part)

Blessings I Don't See At the Moment
April 16, 2014
There were so many things to take care of before a surgery and being the inexperienced mom of course all these unexpected, last minute calls just drove me nuts.
I called the Dr's office early in the morning and tried to make sure everything was line up with Evan's surgery. The nurse supposed to give Evan a call for the pre-surgery instruction two days ago but we didn't get any until 2:11pm after the office lady called about the change of his surgeon and time for the surgery. I supposed to get Evan to the surgical center at 11:00am according to the letter but the surgeon wanted to squeeze Evan in at 12:00pm, so we needed to be there at 10:45am. And since Dr. P Bernsteix was not feeling well, his brother would fill him in -- a Dr. we have never seen before!
I tried to be nice and not complained about this (I just want Evan to have the surgery done, that's it), but at the same time I was kind of upset of how disorganized it is! What's more? The office lady on the phone told me that the Dr. would like me to get a prescription of crutches and medication. I thought we could get everything at one location since she called Paoli Pharmacx for crutches and Pathmarx for his pain medicine.... so, I requested her to fax the prescription (crutches) to CVX in Berwyn. Little did I know that it's a challenge to find a local, in network medical device provider.
It was passed 3:00pm since we started calling back and forth with the prescription. Somehow, I had an impression that the prescription was sent to CVX through the conversation with the office lady . Since I don't have access to which stores carries the crutches, so I called the insurance for help. The first person gave me a pharmacy in KOP but I later found out that the store didn't have any. I was surprised and pretty desperate as I called Store #4 in Wayne but it turned out that they actually carries them at the store but it was 4:45 as I called and they close at 5:00pm. There's no way for me to pick up the prescription at CVX and be there at Wayne on time. Not to mention that I wasn't able to get the prescription from CVX because the Dr. never sent one to begin with. I was beating myself up at that moment!
However, here's one of the most important lesson that I learned -- As we went back to the car, Evan said "Let's borrow the crutches from the Urbinx's".... That's right! They had it and we could borrow from them.
The big lesson here: Sometimes, we only see frustration along the path and not being able to vision the end of the tunnel (the blessings) ahead of us. It's so much brighter and well planned that we could ever think of. Why do I have to be on the phone for two hours and didn't get anything done before 5:00pm? $45 or more was saved for those 2 hours!!!!

Temple
So Johnny and I woke up at four this morning trying to get to the NY temple. The traffic was good and we made it right on time. As we entered into the temple, the worker asked if we drove. He said he doesn't normally ask that question but he did this morning since he has a feeling that we have a car parking in the garage. Then, he gave us a discounted sticker for $10 off parking fee today. How nice!
The session was wonderful as always. We were asked to be the witness couple. After we were done with the session, a sealer came downstairs and recruited us to do some sealing for him. We of course had no problem with that request since it was still early. We did a few names and then a brother walk into the room with the slips of his uncle, aunt and grand parents. We sealed them all together. After the sealing for the brother, I asked for a permission to get my grandparents paper and seal them as couples. What a wonderful spiritual experience it was to be able to act on behalf of my grandmas and Johnny for my grandpas. I love grandma Ng wai-Ching and I still missed her a lot. Tears streaming through my eyes as I heard the blessings was pronounced. I hope all my grand parents get a long well in the eternity.
My heart was full as I thought of the incident. How grateful that I am for the sealer to ask us to stay. I know the Lord will bless us and our family when we serve others. Who in the world would think this experience will turn out to be beneficial to my own family? Thank you, Lord!

Wed & Thur
4/9 (wed)
Kyle's has been in my thought for a few days, so I went to see her this morning. When I was there, I found out that she's actually having an annual physical check on her cancer cell count. What worries me was her complained about the pain on her kidney. I hope the results will come back normal that she is in good health. Hope the Lord gives her enough strength for recovery.
Stop by to see Mary but she's not home. I hope she is feeling better and like the tulips that I bought her. Left a FB message but she didn't response. I know read the message... Sometimes, I wish I know how to read people.
Went out to lunch with Johnny. Bro. Urbinx came to help check on the car and there is a need to replace the struts and sway bar... but interesting not the front as suggested by the guys from the shop, only the rear! Johnny and I were in shock since they guys has been talking about the problems in the front all this time. Thank goodness that Bro. Urbinx was able to show us where the leaks are and what needs to be taking care of. Now, we just need to order the parts and pay him to fix it.
4/10 (Thur)
Can't deny that I am getting old! I went to help Amber and her family with packing and loading some stuff on a van, came home and slept for a good 3 hours until Jady woke me up with a kiss. Johnny already warned me not to lift heavy boxes and objects because of my elbows. But I did it anyway.... this is a problem. I don't know how to say no to people. I am such a terrible mother. I need to spend more time serving my family. :(

Love Through Service
It was really nice to spend some time helping Michelle cleaning her apartment yesterday. I thought about the many reasons why she is not comfortable coming to church other than being sick and in pain. I love her dearly and I want her to understand the gospel and feel Christ's love for her, but I don't know how to approach this given with her situation.
I have many thoughts in the past as to how to reactivate her. I think the Lord knows my desire, and through a phone conversation, I found out that she have a tough time cleaning her tub and sweeping the floor. She is able to clean her kitchen and the rest of her house. So, I volunteered to help! As I finished the cleaning yesterday, Michelle and I had a really good talk.
I don't know where in the world I have this love for her.... but I do! As I was there yesterday; I can literally feel that she is a special daughter of God. We talked about how life should be (to be happy), we talked about her job before she became disable. We talked about her family and health. It was all good. She is so loved but she might not know. When I drove home yesterday, a few things came to my mind.
1) I thank the Lord for giving me the time and good health to serve.
2) I want to visit her every other week to help her clean or cook or just to hang out.
3) The most important -- to share message with her about God's love for her and that she can rely on Him in any circumstances.
4) I need to spiritually prepared myself so that I can share the message with her.
I am so glad that I wasn't born in the church because being a convert brings me a perspective on the challenges that a convert would face. I know the Lord will help me with this endeavor!

Another Fried Chicken
This week went pretty peacefully.
Tues: The recruiter called Johnny for an initial interview and he will forward Johnny's resume to the department head. We shall see what will happen next. We are confident that the Lord will let us know when our time is up here in PA.
Wed: Costco... is terrible. I called in the morning and the person told me somehow they didn't process my request (generator pick up) -- which I submitted 3 weeks ago. Now we are back in the game and have to wait for another how many week???
Thur: Feeling a little uncomfortable with a few members in the study group and I wonder if I should stay. The truth is rumor and gossiping do affect lives and have a negative impact on how we see others. I heard too much lately and I need to refrain myself from participating in those unproductive conversation. Watch with eyes, listen with ears and feel with heart -- never forget to feel for my own experience but no other!
Friday: Took Evan to the Dr. for a clearance for his foot surgery. Everything is going well and we are only waiting for 4/17. Went to the youth auction... this year is kind of interesting. It's potluck (so the youth were luck out) and many items were put in silent auction. So, I hope they have raised enough money for camps this year. Don't know the reason why, but Evan decided not to go this year. We had a great time at the auction, and Michele G. was there. So, I was super happy to see her!
Sat: Conference was nice! Many great talks and I love the quotes from the general authorities!!!
Then, Jady and I went to mother and daughter date at Wegmans while Evan and dad went to the Jensens for the priesthood session. I should have took a picture of Jady's look as I showed her the many options and food choices she could pick. Her eyes were wild opened! :D She still missed her Churcx fried chicken, the restaurant that was closed for some reason. At first, she wanted to eat at Hibichx Grill buffet and I asked why she wants fried chicken all the time... Then, Johnny jumped in and said, "because she knew how much you love fried chicken!"
Johnny told me that Jady and he had a conversation on the trampoline the other day when he asked where she wants to live? Her response was, "somewhere that is warm.... because mama is always cold!" That statement alone just makes me cry. She is so sweet and thoughtful and all she is thinking is about her mama!!
After dinner, we went to JoAnn and got some fabric to make hair bow. Jady and I did part of it and we just need to finish the rest.
Throughout the whole Sat., I also looked for bedding, mattress, furniture, dishes, kitchen utensils for a family who moved from Utah without anything. It's another humbling experience indeed. I struggled for two days for one of my favorite set of dishes I kept in the dining room cubicle -- hardly ever used by our family. I questioned myself why do I even struggle if I am not going to use it or have to worry about scratches every time my family use them? I might as well gave them away to benefit others than collecting dust here. Why do I even bother to worry about these things as this family don't even have a bed to live on? The spirit had taught me to be generous and giving and I have learned to sympathize with people who's circumstances is less unfortunate than I am.
Sun: Made two meals for two sick families and then our own. Evan insisted of making crostine.... so, here our food for the conference. We also made fried rice but was late to a potluck dinner with the Spanish members. Oh well... I will never make my day this busy ever again on any future conference weekend. It's tiring and I lost the spirit quickly! After the second session, we went to help deliver the stuff to the new family with the Gracia's family. I love this new family as well as the Gracia's! They are truly wonderful, spiritual, and real disciples of the Lord!
