#17 December 2024 He is born— The Savior of us all.

December— a month of celebrations! Every day we LIGHT THE WORLD by celebrating The Living Christ- our Savior, Jesus Christ!

We try to be more like Him. We try to be a little better; do a little more to serve, lift, and bless family, friends and strangers.

Week 1– Zone Conferences

One thing that was added to Zone Conferences this time was the recitation of THE LIVING CHRIST. Each zone said a different paragraph that they had been assigned to memorize.

Zone conferences are definitely a highlight! What’s so good? Let me count the ways— or at least a few☺️

The teachings:

The special musical numbers:

The travel—we get to see beautiful places:

The food—prepared by the stake relief societies in each zone:

Best of all? The missionaries of course!

We also had the Crèche festival— A busy week for sure! I sang in the choir along with 4 others from our ward.

Week 2-The highlight was the present of the temple trip from President and Sister Quinn.

Half of the mission traveled to the Oakland temple on the first day in two buses. The next day the other half went. After returning home, we had a testimony meeting and a lovely dinner. Thank you!❤️

We also traveled to help with a windshield repair with Elders White & Berklund.

We always like to see Elders Dixon and Young. The Stocks surprised us with a visit from Utah. Rick Isgrigg helps us with the cars and supports the missionaries throughout the mission. President & Sister Quinn got twin grandbabies and enjoyed their photos.

Week 3 The reason to celebrate?! The birth of our Savior! The Senior Missionaries Christmas dinner @ the Quinn’s, the Bennett Valley Ward missionaries @ Bishop Sullivan’s, sticker magic🥰, a walk in the park.

Elders Young, Judd, Davis, & Witt; our MLS missionaries:Wilsons , Harkers , Folsoms , Harmers, Lindemons.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Week 4 Merry Christmas! We love all of you so much! Here, at home, and wherever you may be!❤️

The Wileys, Jen & Mark, Pat & Kathy, Janelle & Mattie, Jean & Pat, Maxine & Rick AND everyone else— though not pictured, you’re in our thoughts and hearts.

Week 5 Finishing the year!

Hoo-rah for Is-ra-el! (Missionary work is about the gathering of Israel -helping others to come unto Christ) on both sides of the veil-the living and the dead.
