Christmas Festivities

This is the set up for our Christmas brunch at the Stake Center. Everything was so pretty! We had the Senior missionaries, the young Sister missionaries, the Facility Management missionaries, the Temple missionaries, and a few other guests -- there was about 70 in attendance. We had a nice brunch and a FUN program afterward. A nice Christmas morning.





This was the food table.








And this was the drinks table, with Elder Hamblin, Sister Bennett, Elder Bennett, and Elder Huffaker.





This is Sister Halladay -- the "kiwi thief"!! She is the Sister they had to send home with some heart problems. They checked it out and found that it was due to an automobile accident she had shortly before she came on her mission. Some depression on her heart. They cleared her to come back, so she returned the first of Dec. She is quite a character, but she is without doubt the top missionary in getting referral cards. We were happy to have her back.




This is Sister Stanger and Sister Huff. These are the two that have been in the Pittsford Ward with us -- and we go teaching with them. They are adorable! And excellent missionaries. They were the ones to teach and baptize Kong. Sister Huff just got transferred this week -- we will miss her! Though she is one of our "training Sisters" here at the sites, so we will see her often.
