Snow Day: Church Cancelled

The e-mail this morning read:

"Brothers and Sisters, We are all grateful for the moisture that has come today. We have some concerns about the side roads and parking lots that are not plowed and will make it difficult to be safe entering and leaving the church. Because of this we will not hold regular block meetings at the chapels today. Today is still the Sabbath and an opportunity to teach one another and have personal study and worship. Today is a good missionary opportunity to go out and meet our neighbors and to invite them to church and get to know them better while shoveling snow. Please give your leaders a report on who you meet today. We wish you joy and happiness in your efforts. Best regards, Highlands Ranch Stake Presidency".

I know this isn't much snow compared to what Staci has been dealing with, and that Levi and Chelsey sometimes have to cope with up at Tahoe, but its pretty hard to feel disappointed when church is cancelled. I wish they would have provided a bit more direction about what to do about Fast Sunday though. Like are we fasting next week? Is there too much snow to fast, like, do we need the calories to shovel the snow?

Molly and I did a bit of shoveling yesterday, but we received another six inches or so last night so we were out first thing clearing the driveway and sidewalks so the infrared coming throught the clouds could help with the melt. While Molly and I were shoveling Mom took some pictures. The funny part is that Allie's said they got about 1/8th of an inch, and they are just an hour north of us.
