We attended the Galveston 3rd ward today and sat by Cathi, Laura, and Bremen. I got to see Max pass the sacrament for the first time since he was ordained a deacon.
Isaac Dowdle and the Jiminez's spoke on centering our lives on Christ. It was based on Elder Maynes conference talk. Laura and Bremen left after sacrament meeting but Cathi stayed with us. James, Cathi, and I all went to Elder Hirt's gospel doctrine class together. The lesson was on 1st and 2nd Peter and we discussed what we need to do to make our "calling and election" sure. Elder Hirt is a very good teacher. We had his daughter Callie in our Primary class when we taught Primary in this ward.
During Relief Society Cathi and I sat by Lynda Cull who was sitting in the front all by herself. Gerry Price gave the Ezra Taft Benson lesson on Self-Reliance and did an outstanding job. She is such a good teacher and it was a great lesson, one that I needed to hear!
Cathi came home with us. James had some lunch and then he and I went down to Sheri's to get some stuff we left there after Thanksgiving. He is going to take it home with him. Ian was outside painting when we got to Sheri's. James mentioned that he was painting the planter the wrong color. I guess he wasn't in a good mood because his response was rather sharp. I just walked right in the house. I felt bad for James.
James left for home around 3:30. I think he was anxious to see his brothers and help Dave and the boys find their elk.
Sheri invited Cathi and I down for dinner. She made meatball subs, and they were delicious!
Cathi and I both want the recipe!
We stayed and visited with Sheri for a little while. The boys were watching football. The Cardinals just beat the 49ers and the Broncos wind up beating the Patriot's. Of course Brian is happy about the Broncos and Alex is a little upset because he is a Patriot's fan.
Cathi and I went home and watched a couple of Christmas movies before going to bed.
