Christmas

Christmas always is a special time of year.
It is a family time. A time to make memories.
And a time to remember why we celebrate Christmas.
We were blessed to be able to share part of the day with our "Mission Family"
The Elders, Sisters and also the Senior Missionaries and the Benson Family.
We will be ever grateful to them for including us in their family.
It was great to remember our Savior and the Peace he brings in our lives
To Remember His Birth.
Also to sing praises to his Name.

 The Nativity Story
Elder Farmer as the Inn Keeper
 Mary and Joseph
 (Bat-Orgill's daughter and John Benson)


 The arrival of the shepherds to worship the new born King

 An escaping baby lamb!

Later the Wise Men came to worship the child and to offer their gifts.


Sister's Choir of Angel Voices.  They were singing a song that  Mary
would sing to her baby, the Son of God

Elder's Choir

 Lots of visiting and picture taking!

Mary Ann Benson enjoying her ice cream

 and savoring her ice cream,

 and really really liking the ice cream,

Getting the very last drop of that delicious ice cream!

May we savor, enjoy and delight in the sweetness of the Love and Peace of our Savior Jesus Christ!
Sister Benson shared this scripture with us:

 John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Merry Christmas!
