Today is Becky’s birthday. We enjoyed it, going to Church. The temple choir sang for Sacrament Meeting today. It was the first performance that Becky was able to direct, since she was called to be the choir director. From the comments that I got, it went well. I wouldn’t know, since I was supporting her in the tenor section.
During the last week, we got another six inches of snow and lots of sub-freezing weather.
We attended a “family home evening” last Monday with the other temple missionaries. There, Pres. McArthur, the new temple president, challenged each of us to research out at least one name to take to the temple before Christmas. Also, to submit a picture and a story to Family Tree as well. So… yesterday, we went to the family history center here and got help finding names that we could take to the temple. We were successful and now need to hurry back to the temple to do the work.
We bought ourselves a little 3’ Christmas tree to adorn our apartment. It isn’t a whole lot, not like we are used to when not on a mission, but it is helpful in reminding us that it is the Christmas season. Tonight we went to a sociable which was intended to be a “family home evening” with President Gilliland, president of the Nauvoo Mission. There we enjoyed pop-corn while watching “Mr. Kruger’s Christmas” followed by several of the site missionaries presenting the “Christmas in Old Nauvoo” activities that we missed a week ago, when we couldn’t leave the temple ‘til late. Some presented the story of how several of the favorite Christmas carols came to be followed by a live nativity scene. We went away, having enjoyed a very delightful evening.
