We had a wonderful Christmas Eve event. The whole mission gathered together

for a Christmas concert. We had a 60 voice choir led by Sister Lyman that was just amazing. We had an additional dozen numbers performed by small groups. It was Christmas at its best.

Afterwards, the missionaries met in the cultural hall to mix and mingleand enjoy homemade cinnamon rolls with hot chocolate.Christmas wouldn't be the same without Santa Claus (aka Elder Hancock).

We ended with gifts; boxes from from family and friends (this is one week's worth)

and a mini loaf of poppy seed bread from the mission.
