Mid December

We are not Grinches---we have a TREE!!!!! And of course it requires putting together in the proper holes....

.


Twas difficult to find one that would fit in such a limited space as we have here!! But voila---it is done.

In the Boston Mission the President has each zone attend a morning Temple session and then go over to the mission home for lunch, a short conference and then the parents had been contacted to send their Christmas gifts to the Mission Home to hand out at this party. So many really gung ho cute Elders.......


President and Sister England (she would probably shoot me for posting this picture. They are great people and really love their missionaries.

This is the Alden's with Elder Peterson and Olson. Sister Alden is going to be baptised at the end of the month and we've been meeting with them and the Elders this last month.



We drovc up to Laconia, New Hampshire last night for a job club and these were a couple houses we saw. This is typical of the home decorations--white lights and candles in the windows.



We're planning our trip to New York next week. We'll work in the employment office one day and be able to take in a show one afternoon and see the ice rink and big tree at Rockefeller Center and then attend the Employment Christmas party in Poughkeepsie. Still waiting for our volunteer assignment at the hospital. We had hoped to work there on Christmas so we need a couple days of orientation.

Typical noreaster rolled in yesterday---constant rain the last two days and a heavy downpour expected tonight. Just north of here the schools closed today due to ice storms but all we get is rain, rain, rain. But that's better than ice!!! Can't wait for the snow to send you all the great pictures. But hopefully pictures from New York first!!!
