I finished reading the book today
I loved her testimony after she went through the
temple to get her endowments.  It's found on pages 114-15.

I also worked on my Sunday journal, read two articles in the Ensign, and James and I read 1 Nephi 15:1-18.  

James and I left to go visiting teaching a little after ten.  We are going in his truck because the roads are so muddy.  Hailey's road is very rocky and muddy.  We went to her house first.  Since she is teaching my Primary class this week I gave her the lesson, pictures, a handout, and some candy.  

The visiting teaching message is based on The Proclamation to the Family.  I gave her a framed copy.
I got the copy and idea from Marci Coombs
 I also gave Hailey and Elida a quote about families that mentions our family being our "jewels".  I gave their kids candy necklaces and gummy rings.  The Pope boys loved them! 
The Pope boys
Eli, Edmund, and Ethan
Elida and Erik Pope
The Pope's road was so muddy we couldn't have made it without four wheel drive.  The Pope's are moving.  I am glad for them, but sad for our ward.  Elida is expecting a baby in March and I have been worried about her being so far out if she were to go into labor when Erik wasn't home.  They bought a home in Wagon Wheel very close to the hospital.  Erik works at the hospital and he will be able to come home for lunch.  

After my visits we went into town and got gas at Maverick.  We got lunch at Sonic and then when home to take naps.  

James put away the Christmas tree and decorations as a surprise while I was working on my blog.  

For dinner we made friend chicken together and then watched:
"My Gal Sunday", and "The Cabin."  Cameron Mattison starred in "My Gal Sunday" and Lea Thompson was in "The Cabin."
We both slept on the recliners tonight.
