MERRY CHRISTMAS!!  We had a nice day yesterday! The highlight was getting to Skype with ALL of our kids and grandkids!! Yay!! I am sad that I only have a few photos...Our zone leaders moved just over the wall from us, so it was fun to have them here for awhile Christmas Eve and also most of the day yesterday! Ü

Elder Clawson and Elder Rodgers who spent the night with the

zone leaders and drove back to Nhlangano on Christmas morning, 

joined us Christmas Eve!

Cute Elder Rodgers brought me this bowl he made out of a huge 

avocado shell! Pretty creative! Ü

drinking Christmas cranberry-pineapple slush and watching ELF with us on Christmas Eve.

Jeff and Karen sent this cute photo of their family on Christmas Eve wearing the new

Christmas pajamas we gave them and also the wrapped family game. Ü 

We FINALLY had a branch Christmas social (braai) at noon on Saturday, Dec. 29th!  We were not asked to do anything for it, but I made 12 dozen cookies (six dozen oatmeal coconut chocolate chip and six dozen chocolate cookies with Rolos in the middle.)  An hour after the activity was to start, there were only 15 people there. We left early, (about 24 were there at 1:45). The elders said more people came before it ended. Ü 

This is the view from our kitchen window!!  We get to look out at this EVERYDAY!!
