'The Moral Force of Women'
Elder D. Todd Christofferson
"Women bring with them into the world a certain virtue, a divine gift that makes them adept at instilling such qualities as faith, courage, empathy, and refinement in relationships and in cultures."
'Hastening the Lord's Game Plan!'
Elder S. Gifford Nielsen
"First, specifically pray to bring someone closer to the Savior and His gospel every day.
Second, pray for the missionaries serving in your area and their investigators by name every day.
Third, invite a friend to an activity in or out of your home."
James left for high council around 5:20 this morning. He comes back in time to take me to church. While he is gone I take some gorgeous pictures of the snow.
All of these pictures were taken on our property.
He says my car won't make it up our hill so we take the truck. I can't wait until we get some cinders on our road. Brother Mayfield greets us at the door of the church. Brother Brown is our usual greeter. I hope he is okay. He is older and has had some health problems.
Brother Owen Peeler and high councilman Cameron Crandall were the speakers today in sacrament meeting. The topic was the two great commandments.
The lesson ins Sunday School was on prophets and continuing revelation. In Young Women's we had a lesson on the Word of Wisdom. Sandra Wilhelm, the teacher, is a great example of someone who lives the Word of Wisdom.
It is snowing when we come out of church but the snow on the ground is already starting to melt. I am glad I got up early this morning to take pictures.
For lunch we had sloppy joe's and corn. After lunch James got a phone call from Chuck Crane, who is an assistant in the High Priest Group. Lunda Tanner's husband committed suicide and they want James to go over to see her with Jimmy Applegate. He was dying of cancer, and I guess he just couldn't take it anymore. That is a tough visit to make, but I am glad James was able to go. Lynda gave him a hug and a kiss while he was there. She is doing ok and her girls are on their way up. Lorraine Vaught will stay with her until the girls arrive.
James went to the ward missionary fireside this evening while I stayed home and worked on my blog and wrote Thanksgiving notes to family members. When he got home we watched two Christmas movies:
"Window Wonderland", and "The Christmas Tree Lot."
