It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

The sites are looking rather festive lately. Each site has a tree decorated without lights on them & with popcorn, cookies &/or apples along with other festive frills. The first picture is of the Welcome Center on the Smith farm. You can see they took the large "Face to Face" statue & shipped it to Salt Lake but we have a small one in front of the window.

The second & other pictures are of the decorations in the Grandin building. The first one is on the main floor at the entrance - beautifully done! One is of the display in the window - the nativity & one is of the beautiful poinsettia under the Moroni 10:4 scripture on the 2nd floor.

We haven't had much time to get around to the other sites to take pictures but hope to do that this next week. Everything is looking like Christmas, even the weather - It's snowing at this very minute. However, the snow melted rather fast as warmer temperatures prevailed this last week.

We enjoy our work at the mission office. We associate constantly with the young Elder's & Sister's. We love their dedication & enthusiasm. Zone Conferences are this week so we will be busy!

We miss being at the sites & testifying of our Savior, the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon & what a blessing the gospel is in the lives of our Father's Children. We love the Gospel of Jesus Christ!!!

It looks so festive there!!! It really doesn't feel like Christmas here. It's been too warm! lol I can't wait to see the trees around the Welcome Center.

Conner just discovered the Christmas presents I just wrapped. "What is it? What is it?" They just happen to be the presents from you guys! He wants to open them so bad!! It's going to be a challenge this year!!

LOVE YOU!

It looks so holidayish!! I guess it's that time of year to decorate - UGH! It doesnt' seem Christmasy here yet, probably due to the lack of snow and cold! YAY! I guess I better get busy though, it's less than a month away! I'm glad you are all in the Christmas spirit and hope you have a nice one...I'm glad that you are there with Mom and Dad and you have a little family to spend the holidays with! Love ya
