The winds were howling and the snow coming down horizontally. It had been snowing almost 24 hours. A foot of snow already lay on the ground with no signs of letting up. A trip to Varna was in the plans with us leaving in 4 hours by the time we got out of bed. This involved a 5 hour road trip through Burgas and the mountains between Burgas and Varna. What was the weather like between Plovdiv and Varna? A call to Elder Mace in Sliven was not encouraging. This would be the half-way point. He had cancelled his trip as well because of similar conditions. Cancel Super Saturday? Done! Stay home! So we built a snowman on our deck. Sounds like fun. What else to do on a snow day. Check out the snowman, it was so cold that he even had blue lips.
We called up the Elders and Sisters and invited them over for a hot meal at the end of their day. They were mobile; it is a lot easier to get around walking then driving on the narrow roads we have to drive on.We woke up this morning to an email from our real estate broker announcing an offer on our house. This needed our approval and Spencer’s signature by the end of the week-end, as time was of the essence. This is an email we would not have received until Sunday night, possibly too late to act on. There are indeed “tender mercies” being given and we appreciate this blessing. Sorry to postpone Super Saturday, but thankful for the offer on our home.

I have to say that I love the hat on the snowman! Sorry to hear about Super Saturday knowing that these days are a highlight to the singles. Hopefully the offer was accepted, let us know.
Really enjoy your blog. By the way...which place are you selling?? St George or Star Valley?? Keep up the good work. Love and miss you!
I have to say, whenever I thought about my future in-laws before I was married, I never thought I'd ever see them out in the snow, playing in it & building a snowman (lol). To answer your question about the picture at the top of our blog of Tyler wearing the "designer" tie, it was taken last June. Aubrey had made it for him in Primary for Father's Day. I actually posted about it last June, so you can go back to the blogger archive & click on the posts from June if you'd like to read about it again. :)
What wonderful experiences you are having. I needed to catch up on your blogs and really enjoyed them. I have great admiration for the two of you.
What happened on your house offer? I hope it turned out well. I was in St George a few weeks ago and there were so many homes for sale or in foreclosure. I will be going again on the 24th of this month.
Love, Jan
We have had some snow here in SLC but Chuck hates it. He has had to do the shoveling of the sidewalks & driveways at Erika's house & it takes him 2 hrs. So when a snowman got built it was the Daddy helping the girls not the Grampa. We do enjoy your blog which helps to keep memories of our missions alive. Thanx
