12-17-25 Wind Storm Contest

Image
 And the winner is.................. Jesus did not come last night, but it felt like He might there for a while. WHAT A STORM!!! And our family had a contest to see who had the most wind damage. See results below. Now for that contest... - Greg and Hanna: Our garbage can blew over and we had several Christmas Lights and decorations get blown down. - Justin has been awake since 3am this morning; the storm was so noisy. No reportable damage, but there were two big trucks that got blown over just down the highway from Pullman. - Del and Ella have not had power since last night. Brrrrrrr........ And several burned up trees came down, one blocking their driveway. Plus Del's FedEx Plane was delayed and he couldn't start his courier route until late and so had a real late arrival back home and Ella had to deal with the lack of heat by herself. (Trust me, she can handle it.) - Dominick's place sustained a mudslide closing his driveway, plus a bunch of trees came down, one barely ...

  Retired/Missionary Life. Sunday. Happy Sabbath!! Here! Have a Jesus Picture!! See the picture of Hanna and Gussy doing their morning studies. See the picture of Hanna logging a HUGE geocache we found right by the AirBnb we stayed at. See the picture of the church building we went to in Idaho Falls. We found a Spanish Congregation to worship with that matched our time and route perfectly! See dinner at Deer Lodge. We loved attending the Spanish Ward. Oh how we love these people! They were so welcoming and friendly to us! They tried to speak English to us to make sure we felt welcomed. We tried to speak Spanish to them to make sure they understood we were there to serve them. The result was a ton of Christ-like love in our conversations! A great experience! We love being missionaries, even outside our area. Retired/Missionary Life. Monday. Homebound...........we tell the boys "we're going back home today!" and they go crazy with excitement. We all like going back home. On...

  Retired/Missionary Life. Sunday. HAPPY SABBATH!! Here! Have a Jesus Picture! Be happy! He loves YOU! Sacrament Meeting. Hanna was one of the speakers and gave a great talk, in Spanish even. She nailed it! Best Mission Companion ever! She spoke on how music of the Gospel brings us the spirit. Special 5th Sunday Meeting after that to go over security procedures. This obviously is in the wake of the incident that took place in Michigan. Not a huge doctrinal class, but still necessary. Gotta keep folks safe. We then had Missionary Correlation Meeting. Always fun to compare notes and hang out with the Sister Missionaries. We had two lessons scheduled to teach folks after that, but neither worked out. So we came home. Had leftover Thanksgiving stuff for lunch. Read, studied, watched church videos. And in the evening, we started into our tradition of watching a bunch of Christmas movies. Tonight we watched "The Greatest Christmas Pageant Ever". Great movie! If you haven't seen...
