"The message of this season that is applicable throughout the year lies not in the receiving of earthly presents and treasures but in the forsaking of selfishness and greed and in going forward, seeking and enjoying the gifts of the Spirit, which Paul said are 'love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law' (Gal. 5:22-23)
-James E. Faust
Happy Birthday to our son-in-law Paul who has been a part of our family for 25 years.
Ruby rode with us to and from church. James let her "drive" home. No wonder she likes to come with us.
Today was our fast and testimony meeting. We had five youth who bore their testimonies. It was a good meeting. I am fasting for the Fab Five: Joseph, Michael, Alex, Ben and James. I am fasting that they will prepare themselves to serve missions.
Trina, Lola and I learn about how to be good shepherds in Brother Wilhelm's Sunday School class. James attended another class since part of his calling is to work with the Sunday School.
Ruth Wilhelm gave the lesson in Young Women's on building the kingdom of God. Winna Ulmer is back in the hospital, this time for gall bladder surgery. Alice, Trenda, LeeAnn, Maddie, Shelly, Jordyn, and Kyah attended.
To break out fast we had roast with carrots, potatoes, and celery. Afterwards I beat Addy and Trina in a game of Five Crowns.
The kids watched the Christmas Dragon while Ed and Debbie Miller came to fix our heater. The heater now works and we had a nice visit with Debbie and Ed.
James attended titihing settlement without me. The Miller's were in my closet working on the heater so I couldn't change clothes.
Trina and the kids left for home this afternoon.
Trina and the gang
This evening we watched the First Presidency Devotional and then "Christmas at Cartwright's".
Robert came to work on the truck after dark but didn't stay long because a clip is missing. He said he would get one and come back tomorrow.
Darrel stayed here again tonight.
