Christmas Carols

We have been able to go to two totally different places this past week to sing Christmas Songs.  The first place was at a hotel and we were suppose to sing out side, but it had been raining all day and it looked like more rain when we were suppose to start.  We were given candles to have while we were singing.  It was a fun experience.  We had our hymn books and we sang out loud!!  Some of the songs had many more verses than we know or some had different melodies than we know the song with.  But hey, that didn't stop us from singing along.   When we had sung the religious songs, we started singing the Santa songs.  In came Father Christmas.  His suit is much different than the Santa we are use to, but the spirit is the same.  The children were excited to see him. 

The children were asked to come up to the front to sing "Away in a Manger'"


Father Christmas



The Sister Missionaries - Nelasiba, Lovell, Collister, and Hadlock by the Christmas Tree at the hotel.


Then two days later we sang and read scriptures to women in a prison for illegal immigrants.  We also gave them personal hygiene kits that one of our branches had made.  It was a humbling experience and one we won't soon forget.  The people have been there for years or just arrived.  They don't know how long they will be there.  Make sure you thank Heavenly Father for all your blessings!!
