This is leaving my house on Sunday. Yes that white stuff is snow. Yes it is a recent picture 10-11-09. Monday we had 5-6 more inches. Can you believe that! First of October and we are already getting snow. Not to mention Saturday our high was 26 degrees. FREEZING!
This is the little church we go to every Sunday. It is small three room place. No plumbing in it AT ALL! Don't you just like that little bell on the left side! Which means......
Yip you guessed it. Outhouses, not even warm insulated outhouses, just your run of the mill freeze your butt off, not to mention your pee in mid-air, cold really cold outhouse.
So what does that leave us. I tell the kids to go to the bathroom right before we leave the house. We walk in the door to the church with our blankets in hand, and scarfs wrap really tight. And Azlyn says I have to go pee... Crew says I have to go poop. So Thad being the great Dad he is looks at me and I say,"not this time, you at lease have close toe shoes one." So he hikes out to the out house one at a time and takes them to the bathroom. It was a great Sunday, the whole branch bore their testimony including kids All 10 of them along with the 6 youngwoman and our one young man. We have Sacrament last so we got out of church 20 min early. What do you do when you don't have anymore people to wait on!
Sunday was good I won't complain, it could be worst I guess, the heater (small as they are) could have gone out. So if you think that it is hard to go to church on Sundays. Just think of us out on the plains of NE with coats, hats, scarfs, and blankets wrapped around us during church, and an occasional trip to the out house and be grateful that you don't have to do that :) and to think it is only OCTOBER ... It is going to be a long cold winter of Sundays. Oh and did I mention that we have Stake conference in two weeks which is a 3 1/2 hour drive one way. We go the night before and get a hotel. :) Happy Church to everyone else!
