Dear Family,
This is a very short letter because we are leaving to Tasmania for three days. President and Sister Maxwell asked us to go with them to celebrate Christmas with our missionaries down in Tas. (Australians say Tas) We were very excited to go. When we get back Wednesday afternoon we will start to getting ready for the Christmas party for the other 200 missionaries on Friday. All the seniors are coming Thursday to help set up. We will have a dinner on Thursday night while we are all working.
We had dinner at the Snow's home on Saturday. The Augers are moving back to the states in a week. They have been here 3 years and he was a counselor in the bishopric. Such a wonderful group of friends were there. I have enclosed a couple of pictures on the blog.
Our stake had their Christmas program last night. The choir and the orchestra were wonderful. The audience sang a carol for every two numbers performed by the choir and orchestra. It finally felt like Christmas!!!! It was a beautiful evening. Of course, it was emotional for us. We get teary very easily these days.
We are doing lots of packing and sending boxes back home.
WE LOVE MELBOURNE OR AS THE AUSSIES SAY MELBIN!!!!!
Better letter next week we promise.
Thought for the day.
"And if it so be that they repent and come unto the Father in the name of Jesus, they shall be received into the kingdom of God."
Ether 5:5
Our love with you always,
The moms, the grandmas, the sister sisters
