CHRISTMAS EVE DAY & CHRISTMAS EVE

We had a great Christmas in the mission field. 
On the 24th, we went to the
office and got a little work done. 
We had a transfer meeting with the APs -
then turned the meeting into a breakfast party
with White Elephant Gifts.

Elder Petersen and Sister C.

Sister Christensen was surprised with a gift of silly string,
and an ensuing silly string war.

Elder Uribe

Is that a clear sucker in the shape of a horse?  Yes!



Elder C.

We could have used this in Grand Gulch a few years ago.

Sister Williams

A mug ??  Yes !

 Sister Last
Bathroom Golf!!!!!!!!!

We created great memories.

******************************************
In the afternoon, the Christensens went to see as movie -
"It's a Wonderful Life."
The theater was filled.
No matter how many times you watch that movie -
it touches you to the core.
******************************************


Next we fulfilled a long time wish of Sister Christensen -
we went to a church service of another denomination.
We attended St. John's Lutheran Church.
The candle ceremony was lovely.

******************************************
Some last minute shopping for tomorrow's breakfast
 was next on the list.
******************************************


Looking at lights couldn't be left out.

******************************************
Time to eat! 
Portillo's ?  Closed!
Culver's? Closed!
A drive-in? Closed!
Home for leftovers.  Great !!!!!!
Had Pantone (fruit bread) for dessert.

We also enjoyed picture texts from our families.
They each received Giordano's Pizza from Chicago
for Christmas Eve Dinner.
******************************************
We opened our few gifts and talked about
our great day before we went to bed.
