Feliz Navidad 2014

December flew by in a blur

We spent our days:

*Working with the missionaries to share the message He is the Gift -


*Traveling the mission for interviews with 238 amazing missionaries like these two -


*Making paper Christmas trees -


*Decorating our home for the holidays with this group -



*Caroling -


*Seeing a favorite former missionary who came back to visit - 


*Checking out the office Christmas tree. Hermana Wynn & Hermana Kauer made an ornament for each missionary. I LOVE this tree!



*Gathering a family photo for each of our missionaries and making them into a video to show at our Christmas Conference -


*Making a ring for each missionary out of a baby coconut that we gathered from a tree on the Concepcion temple grounds -



Baking sugar cookies for a zone meeting and chocolate chip cookies for a ward party -





*Attending a few wonderful Christmas concerts -



*Having a Christmas conference with all 238 young missionaries and 12 senior missionaries -


*Caroling at the hospital - 


*Enjoying every minute we got to spend with the Mills family -










*Having a fun Christmas day activity with the missionaries - 




*Having interviews, dinner and a final testimony meeting with these faithful missionaries before taking them to the airport for their return home -


*And picking up this awesome new group of missionaries -


*Having lunch and visiting with the families who came to pick up their missionaries -




*And celebrating our 1/2 way mark -


We really, really love our mission and are grateful for each day we get to spend here in Concepcion.
