Christmas 2011


Elder Gerrand and Elder Gravellese in Billingham
We worried a bit about being away from our family for Christmas, but were able to fill our time with rewarding activities.  On Christmas Eve we set off to deliver Christmas gifts that arrived late for missionaries throughout the mission.

Elder Herlin and Elder Otte were especially excited

It was a fun day for us and we even found time to stop off at the seashore.   It was quite cold, but there were many people walking along the beach and the air was so refreshing.

Christmas Day was a treat for us, with a missionary from Germany, another from Scotland and an new convert from South Africa sharing our Christmas meal of California favorites, enchiladas, rice, & beans.  They loved it!
