Well, we have had snow all week long.  Probably only accumulated about 3-4 inches but it is nothing but fluff.  It falls like downy little feathers night and day.  Today we actually saw the sun and it warmed up to 27 degrees.  Course on our way down to church it was only 1 degree.  We haven't been bothered much with snow on the road, did have to shovel a bit at the Johnson Home.  Oh, and the furnace is out 'again'.  Hopefully more parts and a fix this week.  We are grateful that our office is warm with a little space heater and that tours don't take too long so it is not too bad.  Just feel bad for the visitors.
We had the special opportunity to be taught this week by Brother Karl Anderson.  He has been in CES here in Kirtland for thirty something years and he knows lots and lots about Kirtland.  It is truly amazing.  Well, he and his wife brought a couple that were on their way to serve as site directors at Sharon, VT , the prophets birth place.  Found out that he was related to Mildred Johnson from Huntington and had been in the little green home there in Huntington many times as a youth.  He also knows Garth Wakefield and Bob Tucker.  Small world.  Anyway, Brother Anderson invited us to be in the home with them.  Brother Anderson asked me to give the account of the Tar and Feathering of the prophet which I did.  Other than that we were taught by him. It was so special as we sat in the revelation Room and he read and explained the 76 Section of the Doctrine and Covenants, the way it happened, the people involved and what it really means.  We were truly taught and how grateful we were to be a part of that.
Then on Saturday our new site director Elder Sorenson from Cache county, has been a sealer in the Logan Temple, and his wife and the two training sisters came to meet us and do a tour.  We called in the Holtrys and together we were able to present the tour for them.  We split it up with the Holtrys, them doing some rooms and us the others.  We felt really good about what we said and know that we were helped and guided.  Elder Sorenson complimented us and talked to us about our presentation and then he taught us, again in the revelation room.  He talked about the power of the temple, and the power we have as members of the church who are temple worthy, the blessings and protection we are promised.  Wow, it was truly a special teaching moment!  It will be a great blessing to serve with them.  They are a strong and special couple.  It all sums up to another very spiritual week with great teachings.  There are no words to describe our feelings in serving here in the Johnson Home.  We just truly love it.
