What a crazy whirlwind week! It has been fun, spiritually uplifting, touching, and exhausting! The Blues had told us how great the Christmas Devotionals were, and now we know for ourselves. We travelled to Bakersfield Thursday, Camarillo Friday, and Santa Barbara Saturday for the devotionals. I have pictures and will post them and write more about this later - perhaps on Christmas Day, when I may have a little spare time :)
Kim got her car back. The Belisles have helped her again by providing a place to stay, fixing a flat tire, and filling her car with gas. She has gone to spend some time with an older daughter, but will be returning on Christmas Eve. Not sure where she will spend Christmas. The Blues gave us gifts to give to the children.
Have I recently said how much we love The Blues? They are sweet, Christ-like people who quietly and thoughtfully serve others.
It's Sunday morning. Much singing to be done today. I managed to get a nasty cold and have been trying to sing through it this week.
Tomorrow we will deliver all remaining packages and mail to the missionaries -- we'll split up and deliver to the zone leaders who will dispense to the missionaries.
Merry Christmas Randy and Jolene! The Christmasses I spent on my mission were priceless....very different than my "regular" ones, but I wouldn't trade them for the world. It is interesting to go though a "stripped down" version of the holidays, isn't it? It helps keep everything in perspective. Hope you have a wonderful holiday! The Wises
