Let's play a game- Can you spot your missionary?

New Missionaries December 27th

Our Valiant Group of New Missionaries!




Outgoing Elders and Sisters

We were so sad to say goodbye to these fine sisters and elders! This was an interesting transfer because these missionaries left on the 17th of December and we didn't get our new missionaries until December 27th.

Missing in these pictures is Elder Faulkner who was our m.c. and did fantastic impressions of Presidents Monson, Packer and Uchtdorf. 




After our talent show we had lunch and then moved into the chapel for a more spiritual program. Although we didn't get pictures I want to remember those who performed:
Sister Griffes and Sister Yazzie started us out by a recitation of "The Living Christ"
Then Elder Peterson sang "O Come O Come Emmanuel"
Elder McHardy sang "Oh Holy Night"
Elder Watson played guitar and Sister Muni played the cello, together they played a compilation of hymns
Elders Larsen and Opeda performed "The Shepherd Who Wasn't There"
Sister Hench told us a story of a beautiful experience she had as a seminary teacher
Elder Mason sang "My Shepherd Will Supply My Needs"
Sister Walker and Sister Schafer sang "Oh Little Town of Bethlehem"
Elder Gowers sang "Guard Him Joseph"
Elder Orellana played his arrangement of "What Child is This?"
Elders Rytting, Jensen and McGill played an organ piece "I Saw Three Ships"
Elder Kaneao sang and played the guitar "Love Is Spoken Here"
Elder Webster finished the program with "Mary Did You Know?"

This was a wonderful Christmas Eve! We had a great time being able to spend it together and enjoying the abundant talent that our mission has been blessed with!
