Snow and Cold

One of the temple gates

Saturday night we had an ice storm that covered everything with ice. Then on top of the ice we had about six inches of snow. The past couple of days have been very cold.  We got up to 7 degrees today and the low is expected to be -10 degrees.

A slow and cold Sunday afternoon
at the Brickyard waiting for visitors

Yesterday, Ann and I were assigned to serve at the Brickyard site. We had the family of one of the senior missionary couples. There was 13 of them. Other than that we had no other visitors or guests. This time of year it is not uncommon to go all day without anyone visiting a site. However, during the week I have projects in the cabinet shop to keep me busy all day.

Last night all the missionaries met at the stake center at 6 o'clock following the closing of sites at 4 o'clock. We had soup and bread dinner provided by us missionaries. Afterwards, we had pictures taken on the temple steps. It was so cold. We then divided up into three groups and went caroling up town for a while. Afterwards, each group went to the home of one of the members of the mission presidency for wassail and hot chocolate.
