The weather outside is frightful but the day has been delightful

When I got up this morning the temperature was a balmy 50 degrees. Within about thirty minutes the sky darkened and the temperature had dropped about 2o or more degrees. Our pug was not interested in doing her morning pottys so chose to hold it till we got back from church. I told myself that I would not go back outside once we came back from church, I am so grateful for a small warm house on days like this. Anyhow, during church I was approached by my visiting teaching companion about going out visiting teaching this afternoon so I agreed. By the time we got out of church it was brutually cold and all I could think about was going to my warm home. We did make it out to our visit and I was so glad that I made the choice to leave the comforts of a warm house and do something that helped me keep the sabbath day holy. Lena went with us because she wanted to learn about visiting teaching and she even got some candy out of it! Tomorrow is the start of another busy week for me. I have been working almost full time since last month which is why I haven't posted a blog for awhile. Lena has been asking me to blog something but I have just been so tired when I come home from working with children all day. So Lena, thank you for helping me to remember to take the time to blog. Next week we are off to San Antonio for the holidays! I am so excited and look forward to spending time with my sisters & their families and we all get to talk to Paul on Christmas day! The mission says the calls are "supposed to be limited to 45 minutes". Sounds like a nice plan but we will probably exceed that a little or alot. I probably will no blog again till we return. I have a full plate this week with enrichment, feeding the missionaries , christmas shopping and going up to Topeka next weekend to have a early christmas with my parents and relatives. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year .
