FUIMAONO FAMILY

Ooohh April....After the unique March madness experienced due to COVID 19, we all needed some upliftment in our lives and boy did the month of April deliver!  March 29 - April 5 | Ward Book of Mormon Read-A-Thon In preparation for General Conference our RS put out a challenge for the ward to read the Book of Mormon in 7 days. Each family that chose to participate was assigned a certain section of the book and we all reported when we were done. We started Sunday, March 29th and completed the challenge by Saturday. It was pretty awesome. Reading the Book of Mormon brings power into our homes and strengthens our family. I see it more and more as we continue to read the scriptures daily as a family. April 4 - 5 | April 2020  General Conference  for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints President Nelson promised that this coming conference was going to be unforgettable and boy was it ever! It left me in tears so many times throughout the sessions. It was su...

Auuuu that title sounds like I'm trying to write a General Conference talk or something hahaha. Probably still on the GC vibe from the beginning of the month lol. Anyways... So this pandemic that's going on, it's been something else! It has put the whole world on lock down. So many lives have been affected. I've written quite a bit in my journal, but I wanted to make sure to write about how the Lord has prepared our family specifically for this time. Looking back just in February and March, we can easily see how the Lord had orchestrated parts of our lives.  In February Aljay secured an art collector who commissioned several art pieces. His deposit was the cushion that brought a sense of financial security when we entered this lock-down life.  Towards the end of February, my bosses had heard about school closures in Seattle and decided that we should have a plan in place for our advisers to work remotely in case the schools had to close. We honestly didn...

Here's a full album of this month's shenanigans.  ⮆ March Madness ⮄ March Started off pretty normal... March 4 | Happy Birthday Brittany! It was the middle of the week so went out to treat her to a birthday dinner on her day off, Thursday. How come we went to Cheesecake Factory and it was fully packed- 2 hour wait...on a Thursday?! So we ended up at Olive Garden. Everyone was there (VJal, Penns, Our fam, Brit [duh], and GrandMamaa) so it was all goods! The Corona Virus was top of the headline news at this time. We were mostly hearing about the cases in California, Washington, and New York. Utah was carefully monitoring the west coast situations since it is closer to us and a lot of people travel that way in/out of Utah.  When we got word (at work) that Seattle had closed schools for two weeks, my bosses started working on plans for remote work *just in case*. We didn't anticipate having to implement the plan so quickly! We worked on it for about 2 weeks a...
