How We Spent Our Weekend!

These pictures are actually in color if you look closely.  This is the aftermath of our blizzard and almost 12 hours into our power outage.  We were cold and miserable yesterday but thanks to our 72 hour preparations we were able to keep us and the 2 LDS missionaries that live in our apartment complex fed.  

The above two pictures are shots from our front door.  The tree to far right will have to be taken down when spring comes because that mound on the ground is half of it.

This is a picture taken from our back door.  We were without power for exactly 24 hours.  The power plant failed so Aquidneck Island, Tiverton and Southwestern Massachusetts all went down at the same time.  The irony is that areas in Rhode Island that always lose power didn't in this storm.  There is no church today because the roads are still treacherous and clean-up really hasn't even begun yet.  We will have breakfast with the Elders again this morning and have our own services.  Then the 3 men will go out in the world and see what good they can do for the day while I dream up something for lunch and dinner.  It was funny.  Yesterday I had everything in our hallway to keep refrigerator cool and outside to keep frozen.  I put it in the refrigerator to thaw!  Have a glorious Sabbath.  I will resume my boring personal blogs tomorrow.
