Well, at 7am I went outside and unloaded my packed car.  James slept in until about 8:15.  We got to church right on time.  There was no need for me to wear my sunglasses because there was a thick blanket of fog outside. 

John Wilhelm conducted our fast and testimony meeting. A new sister in our ward, Sister Tayman, bore her testimony.  James also bore his testimony.  We are fasting that we will find someone to share the gospel with before the end of the year.  This is something our stake presdient, President Williams asked us to do.  Also Elder Ballard mentioned it in his General Conference address.

In Sunday School we talked about putting on the whole armor of God.  In Young Women's Denice Hall gave a lesson about Zion.

As we break our fast I have the rest of my leftover chimichanga from Serranos.  James makes some potato patties from our leftover Thanksgiving mashed potatoes.  I admit I tasted the potato patties and they were delicious! 

James indexed 207 names this afternoon while I took a quick nap before meeting Bishop Hall at tithing settlement where we declare that we are full tithe payers.  It always feels good to do that.

I put alot of the things from my car away before we watch the Christmas move, "The Christmas Ornament", starring Kelly Martin and Cameron Mathison. We also watched "Will You Merry Me?"

It was a wonderful Sabbath day.

Kim took pictures of the Trezise family today.

The actor, Paul Walker, was killed in a car accident.

He was LDS and a friend of our friend Dave Miner.

James made me an appointment at Brake Masters today.  The guy said he didn't have any openings but would work me in and be done by noon if I brought my car in at 7:30.  I wanted to leave home before noon so I declined and we rescheduled for next Friday morning, the 12th.
Well I loaded up 12 boxes from downstairs and went to Sam's Club to get gas.  My card was declined.  We need to renew our membership.  I guess I'll put that on my To Do List for next week. I got my gas at Quick Trip instead.  The price was the same as Sam's Club, $3.79 for high octane.  Now for my big decision, which way to go home.  My stomach tells me the Globe way so I can stop at Burger House for one of their delicious green chili burros.  My stomach wins although I really don't like the drive nearly as well as the Payson way.
I passed a "flock of snowbirds" heading north for the summer.  What I really mean is I passed so many Minnesota and a few Michigan motorhomes headed home.  Once spring training is over, that's it, they are outta here.  Monday was the opening day of the regular baseball season.  The D-Backs were sold out.
I got home at 1:30 in the afternoon.  I unpacked and took a short nap.  I made handouts for the young women to remind them of General Conference.  On a can of grape Fanta I put a label that said: Be a Fan of General Conference.  Darn!  I thought I took a picture but I can't find it.
After my nap I got up and took a shower and got ready for tonight's Young Women meeting.  I had to be at the church at 5.  We are leaving at 5:15 for the stake center in Show Low to attend a dinner and then a rebroadcast of Saturday nights General Young Women Broadcast.
Kaeli Nicoll and I both drove.  Natalie Soderquist, our president, did not attend.  Kilee and Jordyn rode with Kaeli and Shelly and LeeAnn rode with me.  Trenda was not with us.  She is being inducted into the National Honor Society this evening.  Way to go Trenda!  Mary stayed in town after school and met us at the stake center.  She now has her own car.  A pretty little white Pontiac TransAm just like Darrel used to have.
The broadcast was wonderful.  We heard from all of the General Young Women's Presidency: Ann Dibbs, the second counselor, Mary N. Cook, the second counselor, and Elain S. Dalton the General Young Women's President.  We also heard from President Dieter F. Uchtdorf.  He told about escaping from East Germany into West Germany with his Mom.
After the broadcast Kilee and LeeAnn rode home with me.  We stopped at Maverick for a snack.  As we were headed for Vernon I remembered that I had forgotten to give the girls in Kaeli's car their Fantas.  I called Kaeli and she was a ways ahead but said they would wait for us at the church.  The speed limit most of the way between Show Low and Vernon is 65.  It was my belief that you could go ten over and not be stopped so although I normally go 70 i bumped it up to 75.  Big mistake.  When a car stopped on the side of the road turned and began following me I knew I was in trouble.  Sure enough I got stopped.  How embarrassing!  What an example for Kilee and LeeAnn.  After checking my record, he was gone a long time, the officer came back and just gave me a warning.  How lucky can you get.  The moral of the story: don't go 10 over the speed limit and if you do you better have a good driving record on file.
We met up with Kaeli, Shelly and Jordyn.  We all had a good laugh and I gave everyone their Fantas and told them to watch General Conference.

This morning I worked on my lesson and then did some yardwork.  I missed Max's football game. 
I packed, took some naprosyn, stopped for a drink and was on my way home.  I went the Payson way, James went through Globe.  Does that surprise you? 
I stopped in Payson at Taco Bell for lunch and had a Cantina steak burrito which was quite good.  James got me a burro at Burger House which I saved for Sunday breakfast.
Unloading my car was a major project! 
We had company this afternoon.  Dallin and Cody drove up for the 3-day weekend.  They stopped at Safeway and got their own food.  I can't get use to the fact that these two are growing up.
James and I watched Person of Interest and Elementary.  I fell asleep during Elementary.
