Hi everybody,
Another busy week, with an even busier week coming up! Dad and I had decided to get some work done on the car before our Thanksgiving trip...but I kept forgetting to make an appointment. So due to my procrastination, we'll pick it up from the service department at Stone's on Wednesday morning, just in time to leave for Moscow. I'm glad they were able to fit us in. They're going to change the timing belt and the water pump.
At work a week ago Friday, we had a potluck lunch, and I made some cornbread muffins to go along with the chili. I made 3 dozen, and only about half of them got eaten. So I asked one of our interns (a college girl) if she would want to take them home to share with her roommates. She had really liked them and said yes. The following Monday she told me how one of her roommates who usually has a lot of trouble with her stomach was able to eat them and was so pleased! I gave her the recipe and she was surprised to see that they had milk, butter, and sour cream in them. She had assumed they didn't have dairy products, because after getting a parasite on her mission, she has had trouble with many foods, including dairy products. I let her know that all the dairy products were organic. She is pretty excited to try out organic dairy products on her own, and see if she is able to tolerate them. I am so pleased that maybe this will help her!
On Saturday, Grandma and I rode with Dixie and the kids to Cydnee's baby shower, at Megan's house. Cydnee and Nick are expecting a little boy on December 10th. We had a really nice time, Reneta, Venae, Gina, Beth, Florence Bowman, and all the kiddos were there. Cydnee is doing well...just as quiet as always!
Dixie, Dad, Melanie, and Calvin, went to Emma's play (Annie, Get Your Gun), on Saturday night. I stayed home with Estella, and we had a nice time together. She was sad only for a few minutes.
Emma is amazing playing Annie! Wonderful voice, just perfect for the part, definitely the stand out of the cast. Josh and Angie Hunter's son Jensen is in the cast too; he plays Buffalo Bill. Another boy from our Ward, Kaiden Carpenter is an extra. His family lives in Amy Moon's old house.
Mama (Gran) found a really neat quote in one of Grandmama Templin's old genealogy books recently. It is a History of the State of Rhode Island, Vol 1, 1636-1700. It was from a Rev. John R. Robinson. He said in his final sermon: "I charge you before God..., that you follow me no farther than you have seen me follow the Lord Jesus Christ. If God reveal anything to you, by any other instrument of his, be as ready to receive it as ever you were to receive any truth by my ministry; for I am verily persuaded, I am very confident, that the Lord has more truth yet to break forth out of his Holy word." Isn't this wonderful, even though it was not common! Thanks to him and others like him, there were people in this new country who were prepared for the restoration of the gospel when it came years later.
Thank you all for the pictures and emails you send each week in response to my email. These are priceless to us! Keep them coming! Love, Mom/Johanna/Nana
