December Events were Fun and Meaningful - Christ is the Gift We Have Been Given!

The Visitors' Center Sister Missionaries were asked to sing for the Temple Staff Christmas Party. It was lovely and they served a lovely breakfast.

Always a good time for a picture!

Cute family part of the program

Brother Noble sang a beautiful gospel Christmas song

In Arizona you can eat a Christmas breakfast outside!

Moving right on to our Condo Christmas party! We love these people! The Guinns  are at the head of the table but not sure of all the other names.

This sister does all the wonderful decorating and then gives it all away.

The Caldwell and the Hardys

The Bowers, fellow missionaries, came.  Sister Lavender sang for us. Brother Gary Holtom was always so friendly and helped at the center when needed.  

Sister Smith

These ladies feed the Zone a wonderful lunch at the Christmas party! 

These are all VC sisters

After the food we had a wonderful meeting, received a gift from the President and his wife. We were asked to share our testimonies, as we are preparing to leave soon. They gave us such a great compliment saying it was more like Uncle Richard and Aunt Gloria, loved that!

All of us

We had to do a crazy one.

Sometimes we had snacks for Christmas Lights and sometimes we had feasts! 

Sister Tingey teaching me about selfies! Love her and this picture.

Udall Ward Christmas Brunch. It was lovely. This is the ward we attended.

Nice little program from the Primary children.

A special exhibit sent by the Church to our center. We loved the message and the video. What a great reminder that Christ is the real gift of Christmas. We should all remember the atonement and what it means to us personally. A wonderful teaching tool.

This is the latest district we were in. All sisters. They called it a sistrict.
Sisters Hamberger, McFadden, Whitten, Pajaro, Bickmore and Smith. They were
so great to be with.
