We have had a great week. Frankie's baptism went well. We had trouble finding a jump suit big enough for him bc the ward mission leader from the other ward took all the suits home to wash them and hadn't brought them back until we called him. I then did the conformation on Sunday and that went great as well.
Just gearing up for the holidays. I do love this area a lot. There are a lot of great people here.
The sister that Pres. Richards and Jeff took the the sacrament to at that camp last summer is leaving on Saturday. She's going to go to England on vacation and then to Utah for school. We are joining her for lunch at her work today.
I received the 12 days of Christmas supplies and have opened the first day card and one of the notes. I love the picture of Mrs Katz. I haven't seen her in, well as long as it's been since I've seen you, lol. I see that Jen R's new make-over didn't go so well. Her eyes are way to big =) (zoom in on photo)
When you send stuff to the mission home they usually forward it to the apartment but we have a senior couple in our ward that works at the office and she just delivers the mail to us at church on Sunday which is nice.
I also received a package from my cousins in VA containing some very wonderful drawings, m&ms and a gift card to Walmart.
I was wondering if i could get Uncle Jim's ice box cake recipe. A member who we are dining with asked what we wanted for Christmas and I was going to give them that to make.
We got a cold front and a dusting of snow with ice but that's about it.
We had a Singles Ward activity where we made gingerbread houses. It's great if you melt sugar and then dip the ends of the graham crackers in it and stick them together. It hardens like a rock and is still edible.
(Commenting on Elder J. Johnson's first area in Zealand, Denmark.)
That's a good point. I never did think of where New Zealand came from... now I know =)
