As much fun as our trip was, it feels good to be back home again.  I've missed the Vernon skies.
This sky in on fire.
James leaves early for his high council meeting and while I am in the bathroom getting ready for church, he walks in and scares me to death!  We do get to go to church together.

Jordyn Applegate was the youth speaker in sacrament meeting.  She spoke on repentance.  Sandra Wilhelm and Judy Hunter both spoke on keeping the sabbath day holy.

In Sunday School the lesson was on the joy of doing family history and temple work.  Of course Ruth Wallace's name came up.  She is a sister in our ward who has submitted thousands of names for temple work.  Everyone in our ward who goes to the temple has taken at least one of Ruth's names.

Sandra Wilhelm taught all of the young women today instead of just the Mia Maids because none of the other teachers were prepared.  Shelly, Trenda and Jordyn all shared why going to seminary is important.

At home James and I had our Burger House burros for lunch.  Afterwards we took a short nap and then James went home teaching to the Peeler's and the Hunsaker's.

When James returned home from home teaching we read our scriptures and two conference talks.  Afterwards we watched a Hallmark Christmas movie.

Something really sad happened in the world this week.  While we were spending an enjoyable vacation in California, the people in the Philipines we being hit by a deadly typhoon.  Thousands are dead and thousands are without the homes or any worldly possessions.  Thank goodness all the missionaries are safe and accounted for.
