Our apartment and some activities

I have taken a few pictures of our apartment. It is actually pretty nice compared to a lot
around here.  We are safe, happy, and clean.  The apt is warm so far, but it hasn't gotten too
cold yet.  The lowest, I believe, will be tonight at -12 C.  If I figured it right that is about 10 F.
 So it's cold, but when we think of the -20 or lower, then it isn't so bad.  They tell us those lower temperatures are coming. We have some snow and so far ever since it fell it has stayed. 
There is about 6 or 7 inches on the ground in places.  The sidewalks are mostly swept off
with only a sheet of ice in places, and snow in others.  In the driveways and other places
 not driven on or walked on so much the snow is deeper.
Our dresser and bed.

Elder Foutz ironing in the living room.  You see
the pictures of members of our zone on the left
bulletin board.

Kitchen stove and cupboards.  Fridge is on the right.
Pink is the hand towel in front of oven.

Kitchen from the other end.  Table and drinking water with
the cupboard on right for extra storage.
We had a great experience this evening with Sister Galena who is a new member.
She has really been blessed with the spirit and has tremendous potential.  We
are truly blessed toteach her. 
The branch want us to teach cub scouts, family history, visit the
branch members, teach piano, and I don't know how many more things. 
The branch is in need of lots of help
and they are worthy of more than we can give.
We also helped Sister Ireena clean her new apartment that her family will move
 into pretty soon.  It is in sad shape.  Our apartment looks like Eden in comparison.
 Sometimes we don't realize our blessings until we see someone else in worse
 circumstances.  There are many in that situation here.  We are very blessed and
have much to be thankful for during this thanksgiving season. 
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
