Area Presidency's Christmas Party

Since we were in Johannesburg the day of the annual Area Presidency's Christmas party, the "Congolese Refugees" were invited to attend. It was amazing for us to see all the senior couples who have put aside their lives and come to serve.  There were over 50 people in attendance.

Cooks, Hatches, Hartmans, Staggs, Webbs and Howes

President Renlund and Binghams

Since we were living with the Renlunds, I got to help with the decoration and food. Anybody who knows me at all knows how much I enjoyed being a part of the project. 

                                                                           
We sang Christmas caroling lead by Sister Renlund and there was even a cute little Christmas tree with angel decorations from the Congo. There were yummy festive foods, fun stories and a wonderful Christmas message by Elder Carl Cook. 

 

We felt very blessed that we were invited.  It certainly felt like Christmas time!
