"Gratefully, we live in a time when prophets and apostles teach us of the Savior Jesus Christ. Following their counsel helps us establish a firm foundation in Christ."

I love this quote from Sheri Dew's book, "Women and the Priesthood":
"Studying the scriptures is a key to learning the difference between feeling the Spirit and hearing the voice of the Spirit."

We woke up to a winter wonderland this morning. It looks like there is about 3 inches of snow and it is still snowing. 

We went to clean the church this morning at 9 a.m. Tina Allen was there too. The Gardner's were not able to come. We are cleaning on Friday because tomorrow we work at the temple. 

James always heads for the chapel. He likes to wear the vacuum on his back, anyway that's my take on it. He looks like a guy from ghostbusters. 

Tina collected all of the garbage, cleaned the bathrooms, checked all the classrooms, and checked the kitchen and Relief Society room.

I had the big vacuum and did the "big" vacuuming in the halls. It looks like there was a popcorn party because there were bits of popcorn all down the hall. I think it may have been a Primary party because there was lots of popcorn in the Primary room too. 

When I was finished I went to put the vacuums away and there was a guy I had never seen before sitting where I had put my purse, boots, and water. I went in to ask James where my stuff was and he had brought it into the chapel. 

The guys name was Jose. He came to work at the park but when he got here Virgil, who helps maintain the park and is in our ward, said he did not have any work for him. Jose's sister had dropped him off and was heading to Springerville where she lives. He needed a ride home.

We we glad to take him home. He lived on the 61 on the other side of Stanford store. I had to text my friend Maxine whom I was meeting at 11 to go see Pat Tedder, and tell her we might be a little late.

We were a few minutes late meeting up with Maxine. She was waiting for us at the hill and stop sign on 3144. We followed Maxine's red Jeep right in to Pat's place. While Maxine and I went in, James turned the car around. 

Pat fell in the temple about 3 months ago and broke her back. She looked better than I had expected. She wears a back brace about 8 hours a day. She is a pretty amazing woman. She spend some time in the hospital and in rehab and then her daughters house in the valley. She told everyone she would be home for Christmas, and she was. Pat is 86 years old. Maxine is her best friend.

I told Pat I wanted to bring dinner next Thursday. Her son lives with her and they help each other because they both have health issues.

After my visit to Pat,  James and I went in to town. We had lunch at one of our favorite restaurants, LaCasita and then James took me to Walmart. I did some shopping while he got the oil changed in the car. 

When we got home I made rolls for the temple tomorrow and finished watching "Winter in Vail."
