I took my best nativity set to church this morning and left it in the Relief Society room per Teresa Smith's request. She would like to use it for the Relief Society activity on Tuesday evening. It really is beautiful, one of the nicest I have ever seen. I believe I got it at Costco years ago. Shelly Applegate helped carry in the nativity.
Today, at the beginning of fast and testimony meeting Bishop Miller gave his baby boy Uriah a name and a blessing. Afterwards he was the first ward member to bear his testimony. Blain Curtis was the last person to bear his testimony and he ended this way: "Don't worry, the Lord is at the helm."
Zemira and Joely were the only kids in my Primary class today. We learned about Paul's missionary travels. Because it was fast Sunday I did not give them any candy. I told them they could have two pieces next week.
Debbie Brewer, a new convert, attended Primary sharing time today. She always has lots of questions and isn't afraid to just blurt them out. Those in charge are always very patient with her and try to give her the answers she is seeking.
Alicia Hunsaker is the Primary chorister. Sometimes she lets the kids choose their favorite songs to sing. Most of the kids choose Primary songs such as, Popcorn Popping, Book of Mormon Stories, and Once There Was a Snowman. Whenever she asks 5 year old Andyn Miller, the bishops little girl, she always chooses: "Nearer My God To Thee." We always have to get out the hymnbooks. I wonder if this is the bishop's favorite hymn too.
When we got home from church we took a nap. We fasted until after 5 p.m. We had tamales, yams, and mac and cheese for dinner. I enjoyed the mac and cheese the most. We spent a very relaxing afternoon watching Christmas movies. We watched "A Christmas Miracle", and "A Crown for Christmas."
Now James is studying his next week's Sunday School lesson and I am getting ready to read from Jesus the Christ We are taping the First Presidency Christmas Devotion to watch tomorrow night for FHE.
The kids had the annual gingerbread house competition at Sheri and Ian's this evening.
