James is always sad when he leaves for the valley and I stay here. I stay so I can go to Mutual Wednesday nights I am going down on Thursday and coming home Saturday. I will be doing this for at least the next month while we try to get our house in Chandler ready to sell. Our goal is to put a sign up on March 1st.
Natalie Soderquist called today and filled me in on the ward happenings I missed yesterday. The big news is that Collin and Wendy DeWitt are the newest members of our ward. I knew Collin many years ago growing up in Phoenix. He was in my ward and I had a crush on him. Sadly, he doesn't remember me. Collin is the fire chief in Gilbert and filled in as city manager in Gilbert until they just recently hired a new one.
Wendy is a food storage guru. I have a food storage notebook entitled "The DeWitt System." I also have a video she made that I bought at Deseret Book. She has traveled all over the Church teaching classes on food storage. She has taught many classes at the Mesa Cannery and I have seen here on BYU-TV. We definitely want her in Young Women's and Natalie thinks our chances are good!
Today I studied, cleaned, and made a handout for Young Women's. I bought each girl a candle and took off the store labels and replaced them with the First Article of Faith. The candle represents Heavenly Father, the burning wick is the Savior, and the Holy Ghost is the oxygen. We can't see the Holy Ghost but he has a powerful affect on us and our testimonies of Christ.
The light of the world.
Watched Downton Abbey this evening. I think it is my favorite show! I love the scenery, the costumes, the accents and the story.
