This is my only Sunday view picture from yesterday. I took it after we got home from attending church in person! We spent lots of time on Saturday making sure we all had clothes and shoes that fit and were clean and ready. At least, I thought we had. It wasn't until we were putting those shoes on just before walking out the door on Sunday morning that we discovered neither Phoebe nor Sophie had shoes that fit and were appropriate for the chilly day. I fixed the problem by handing Phoebe's shoes to Sophie and giving Phoebe a new pair I had just gotten for myself. They were a little snug, but they were tolerable. Thankfully, I had a backup pair.
As we walked into the church building the missionaries assigned to our ward were eager to learn our names since they thought we were new. We got a few hugs from members of the ward and at least one person squealed when she saw us. I was trying not to draw attention, so it was both sweet and awkward. The fellow conducting the meeting announced that they were welcoming some old friends that they hadn't seen in person in a while. And then we worked on being reverent and not drawing attention. The most exciting thing that happened during the meeting was when Topher casually tossed his hymnbook into the empty pew in front of us. He also discovered the bathroom and the drinking fountain. Apparently he needed a drink four separate times during the twenty minute singing time. I'll make sure to let his teacher know that he's not really that dehydrated for future Sundays.
It was good to hear and see the talks and lessons in person instead of from our computer screens.
