HAPPY NEW YEAR!  May it be the best year ever and bring you all success, good health, and mountains of happiness!

It was in the lower 20-degree range when Glade decided to take a walk this morning and the temperature didn’t change much all day.  We are freezing, even in our apartment.  The floor under our thin carpet is cement and it is too cold to go without shoes.  I went to the Church today to practice piano and walk laps in the cultural hall and the heat wasn’t working.  One of the boilers was out of service on Sunday and it was pretty chilly, but it obviously wasn't fixed.  I set the heat to run for an hour in the Relief Society room when I first arrived and then went to walk the laps.  After 30 minutes, the temperature hadn’t budged—it was still barely 50 degrees.  Well, I practiced for a while anyway, but had to cut it short because I couldn’t keep my fingers warm. 

The young missionaries came while I was there—the guys to play basketball and the girls to Skype with their families.  Barbara Groom’s granddaughter was there again, and it was fun to chat with her and meet her new companion who is from South Jordan and has only been here for three weeks. 

It was a great and relaxing day and we worked leisurely on our puzzles.  It’s great fun and a nice change of pace.  But it’s back to the temple tomorrow and we have early assignments in the morning, so we are going to try for an early night—just hope we can sleep!

Wishing you motivating resolutions that will make you happy.  Love and hugs!  Good Night!  😊
