James had high council meeting in Show Low at 6:00.  He left after we had family prayer around 5:20.  He made it back in time for us to attend our Sunday meetings together. 

 I have a thing for light and clouds.

Aaron Windsor was the youth speaker.  He spoke on the importance of using good language and "taming your tongue."  The Diewalds', Jim and Linda spoke on their service at the cannery.  They were just released from a two year service mission.  

In Sunday School we discussed the Abrahamic Covenant, one of my favorite gospel topics.  

Denice Hall, the bishop's wife, gave the lesson in Young Women's.  We watched a video about making choices where a girl explains to her friend why she doesn't believe in a woman's right to have an abortion.  It was one of the best answers I have ever heard.  She said that Heavenly Father gave us the powers to create life and it would be going against His purpose to then destroy that life.  She spoke about how life doesn't begin or end in this life and of the sanctity of marriage.  It was great.  

After the block we had a song practice with the young women in the Relief Society room.  Dianna brought some snacks and Tamara Applegate helped the girls practice their song "Come Unto Christ" which they are singing at New Beginnings on Wednesday.  

There is one table easel in the library and we need 8 more by Wednesday.  I am so grateful I have a husband with some carpentry skills and that he is going to be home to help me make these easels.  
When I returned from our song practice our home teachers were visiting, Collin Dewitt and Chuck Crane.  After they left we had lunch and then a nap. 

At 4pm we went to the Book of Mormon class.  We finished through 1 Nephi 15.  Afterwards I went with James to visit the Peeler's, a family he home teaches.  The Peeler's are a retired older couple.  They are both temple workers and Brother Peeler is the Stake Sunday School President.  Sister Peeler's back was bothering her.  She said she would be going to the chiropractor's tomorrow.

This evening James and I watched a movie we have already seen but really enjoyed called "Love's Enduring Promise."

I have a thing for castles and snow.
