I't has been awhile since my last blog and I was just realizing that I needed to keep everyone up to date better. (New Year's Resolution!)
Winter has definately come. It was actually unusually warm here up until about December. Then when December hit it got really cold. The coldest it has gotten so far is -38* celcius, which is about -38* farenheit. Yes we still go out on days like that--if needs be, like work and school. Actually that temp. was at night because the buses don't run if it gets to -35* during the day. We do have to warm our cars up for about 20 min. so they are bareable to sit in. There is ice constantly on the roads because we haven't been above freezing since the beginning of December. The major roads they keep fairly nice- but side and back road are icy.
We are staying warm with our woodburning stove.
The kids are all doing well in school-They are all liking riding the bus-- they all get a lot of reading done. Their teachers all had very good things to say at parent teacher conferences.
We are enjoying the ward. Tim is the ward mission leader so we get to see the missionaries a lot. We just had a lady get baptised last saturday and we all got to go. The spirit was so strong and I am glad that all the kids got to be there.
I am in the Young Womens presidency and am enjoying that. We only have about 9 active girls. So it's a lot smaller than I'm used to.
We hope you all had a great Christmas. We have been so blessed and are grateful to Heavenly Father for all of His blessings, but especially for our Savior, Jesus Christ.
We miss you and love you all.
