I put two roasts in the crockpot with BBQ sauce this morning. 
Before we leave for church we have family prayer with everyone.  James and I sit in front by the Applegate's so James will have room for his walker and leg.  Sheri, Ian, Kim, Brian and the kids sit in the back.  James and I both bear our testimonies.  So do Shelly and Trenda.  James and I are fasting for Dallin today.

Brother John Wilhelm is called to the bishopric to fill the vacancy left by Wes Smith.  Wendy DeWitt gave the lesson again in Sunday School.  It was on the life and martyrdom of Joseph Smith.  I wish Kim and Sheri would have stayed.  Sandra Wilhelm taught about strengthening families in Young Women's. 

This afternoon James and I read our scriptures together and I read by myself.  I restarted the Book of Mormon for the 7th time this year.  We also took our nap.  After naptime Sheri, Evan and I start to go for a Razr ride but Sheri is too cold so we go back.  Evan wants to go to Greenspeak but when I tell him about the Falls he wants to go there.  James and I take a break from our Five Crowns game that we are playing with Kim and Sheri to take him.  The sad thing is that today the Falls were not running.  I think Evan was happy just to get to go on a ride.

This evening we had dual dinners.  Brian made honey line chicken and I made bbq beef.  We also had beans, macaroni and cheese, a salad, corn on the cob and watermelon.

We did not have FHE like James and I had talked about.

Some photos I took today of the gorgeous sky:

 

I should do a calendar.

This year in Sunday School we are studying the Doctrine and Covenants.  Today the lesson covered the introduction and section 1.  In Relief Society and Priesthood the course of study comes from the Teachings of Lorenzo Snow.  Also, I am super excited about our new curriculum for Young Women.  Our topic of study for January is the Godhead.  I love teaching doctrinal lessons from the scriptures!
A sister who lived in Vernon for many years and had a great influence on the community passed away this week.  Her name was Beulah Penrod.  Many of the testimonies today in fast & testimony meeting were reminiscing about her life and the history of the church in Vernon.  James bore his testimony and I was the last person to bear mine.  We were already over time when I bore mine so I made it brief and mainly about the Savior.

I attended Lannie Gillespie's teacher training class during Sunday School.  Kaeli Nicoll taught the lesson in Young Women's about the nature of the Godhead.  She did a good job and got alot of participation.
James attended our ward's sacrament meeting and then went to the Park Place ward in Show Low.
After church we came home and took naps and then broke our fast before dinner time.  James fixed dinner and then cleaned the kitchen.
This evening we watched the second half of "Love's Christmas Journey" and then about 3/4's of the season 3 premier of Downton Abbey.  It was a good sabbath day.
