"The Savior of the world, our Redeemer, the Prince of Peace, gave us the greatest gift we could ever receive through His atonement and crucifixion. He satisfied the demands of justice and broke the chains of death. By so doing, we can live forever and become like our Heavenly Parents and our Elder Brother."
-Merrilee Boyack
We got some snow today but it doesn't stick. In fact, by the end of the day, all the snow had melted.
Before the melt.
I got a call from Maddie Carrol this morning before 7am. She asked me if I was going to town today and if so could I give her a ride to school. It just so happens I need to go pick up a prescription so I told her I would take her. Her mom thought school would be cancelled because of the snow. Really? Maddie's friend Brisee had spent the night. They were both a few minutes late but I guess that's better than missing the whole day.
Our drive into town.
Diana Curtis is gone this week so I guess that means I am in charge at Mutual. All I can say is thank goodness for Stefani and Analee Hunsaker. We filled stockings with candy and took them to the fire station. I drove home while the youth were filling the stockings and got some clementines I had bought. We thought we might need them to fill the stockings. They were a nice touch.
It was cold as we all walked over to the fire station. Brother McNeil and Brother Diewald were there with the boys. Stefani led the youth in a couple of Christmas carols. Those who were there at the station, two men and a woman, were impressed and thanked us for remembering them. Afterwards we went back to the church and had hot chocolate and donuts. I had made the hot chocolate ahead of time and put it in our five gallon water container. It was still nice and warm. I used the cannery chocolate we had in our food storage.
The bishopric came and joined us. Bishop Miller showed me the shoes Jordyn had painted for his two girls, Andyn and Catherine.
Andyn likes owls and Catherine likes mice.
I came home and watched a new Hallmark Christmas movie, "The Christmas Parade."
