Mission News- 11/30/08

What a wonderful surprise!  We love the tree ornaments.  As you can see, our little tree is full, but beautiful.  Thanks to all of you, it is such a  great gift for us out here.  We are already in the holiday spirit with our Dec. Young Adult dinner being on the 1st.  We are grateful for your help with the sub for santa and the young adults are excited.  We are going shopping next Monday and wrapping the following week.  We have a half mission conference this month for Christmas and Ward Christmas parties, etc.  We are also going to try to visit as many as possible with Christmas goodies.  We are doing so much better visiting the new families of the deployed than we did when we first got here.  We are sooo excited to see Mark and Mel & family!
We had a great Thanksgiving and we mixed it with missionary work.  We had thre soldiers        
and an investigator family plus the missionaries to dinner.  This family is sort of a miracle.  The son got baptized and the Dad is getting baptized Saturday.  The mom's sister lives in Kaysville and was recently baptized.  The dad's mother lives in Portugal and she is taking the missionary lessons.  None of them knew about the others until just recently.  The mission president tells us there are no coincidences.  We love the people here and are as busy as ever.  The winter is coming with three days and nights of snow this week.  Hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving and we send our love!
