Christmas 2014 / New Years 2015

CHRISTMAS 2014 WITH THE
KISUMU ZONE

 MERRY CHRISTMAS 2014


 What a sweet experience to spend Christmas Day
with our wonderful missionaries!

 Awesome Elder Elf Came!
     
 There was a bag of goodies for each of the missionaries.

SPOONS BRINGS OUT A MISCHIEVOUS TWINKLE IN HIS EYES!













 SPOONS!  INTENSE!!




 Tilapia, rice, potatoes, cabbage salad, squash & rolls.






























 It was a fun day and a Christmas spiritual feast!
We experienced the "Three Levels" of Christmas:
 Santa Claus, Baby Jesus and the Adult Savior Jesus Christ.
It was definitely a Kenyan Christmas to remember!

The highlight of our Christmas Day
was being able to see and talk to our family!
We were able to talk with Ty and Aubrey's family 
in Germany in the morning while our
  missionaries were watching 17 Miracles.  
Germany is just 2 hours behind us so
this was wonderful.  When our missionaries left, the
timing was perfect to visit and see
our other children and grandchildren.
This made our Christmas complete!
WE LOVE OUR FAMILY!!!

We went to Nairobi for a wonderful Senior Couples Conference. 
It was held Dec 30th.  We enjoyed New Years Eve at President and Sister Hicken's home where we watched Meet the 
Mormons, played games and had a wonderful meal.  
It may be the only time we get to see some of these missionaries.  There was such feelings of love for one another!

A very special Thank You to our Heber 12th Ward Family 
for the love filled package that we received.  The cards and notes
warmed our hearts!!  The package arrived in Nairobi Dec 30th
and we were able to read them when we
returned to our flat New Years Eve.
It was a great way to bring in the New Year!
Thank you Kyler for this special card!
Your creativity made us laugh out loud!
WE HAVE TO SHARE THIS ONE!!!

 This is why I hate a star shortage


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
