Patrick and Heather Lambson family

I was up early to type James's quotes for his lesson and to finish preparing for my lesson on Lehi and his family leaving Jerusalem.  We also left early so I could set up my room before sacrament meeting.  Ty Applegate was the youth speaker in sacrament meet ing today.  Tyler Hunsaker, who leaves for the MTC this coming Wednesday spoke and Elida Pope who is a convert also spoke.  It was a great meeting.  Elida told about her conversion and it was amazing!  She has such a sweet spirit about her.

Today Zemira, Curtis, and Braylin were the only ones in my Primary class.  Virginia Chaffin gave sharing time today.  It was on nibbling and feasting on the scriptures.  First she let the kids each have one small cracker and then she had a table set up in the back with fruits, cheeses, and crackers where they could feast.  It was a great sharing time.  The kids were so quiet, especially when they were feasting.

For lunch James and I had bean with bacon soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.  James built a fire and I took a nap on the recliner.  When I woke up it was snowing outside.  I love the snow!

This afternoon I did some planning and blog catchup.  

Sheri asks for my french toast and friend chicken recipe.  

I also read from Jesus the Christ.  I have two more chapters before I am finished.  

We watched, "Lucky in Love".

Just a pretty picture I found

My weather app says it is 18 but feels like 5.  What does that even mean?  It is so confusing.

I had an epiphany as I was studying my ponderize scripture today.  I figured out what it meant by the evil gift.  I wrote about it in my gospel study journal.  

Today I read the chapter about the crucifixion in Jesus the Christ.  James and I read from Revelations in the New Testament and in 3 Nephi in the Book of Mormon.  

I am still decorating the house, but I am slow.  I stopped to watch a Christmas movie: "A Family for Christmas."  

James cleared off the ice and snow from the front porch and from the bedroom balconies.  He is still having troubles hooking up the satellite.  I tried to help, but we still couldn't figure it out.

Early this evening we started out for town.  We stopped at the post office and picked up our Star Shower lights.

Love these lights!

We liked the Star Shower lights so well that I ordered another two sets to really light up our house.  

As we are going down the 60 towards Show Low, the phone rings.  It's Chris Skousen.  He had made an appointment to visit us tonight and wondered where we were.  Luckily we hadn't gone too far so we turned around and went home to find Chris and Ed Miller waiting outside our door.  They brought us cookies and we had a nice visit with them.  Ed told us about living in Alaska when his two oldest children were young.  All I can say is, Debbie is a saint!

After our visit, we headed back for town.  Our first stop was at Sonic for burgers and then we headed for Walmart.  I bought some scented pinecones and some other items.  I ended up spending $99.  On the way home we got gas and a carwash.

When we returned home we put the things away that we had bought and went to bed.
