What a Whirlwind of activity! After Rosendo and Sugelys' wedding, we jumped right into Christmas shopping. All the girls had a great time and even I enjoyed myself a bit.

The activity level is really picking up around here. Our sound system had a failure of two microphones. Luis, my deacon, and I are trying to figure out how to get it working again. A girl cancelled out of our Christmas play at the last minute and Bethany jumped in to take her place. Rachel is going over lines and may take a part if any more bail out. The play is about toys in a toy store who learn the true meaning of Christmas. We have costumes that Tina made: a clown, a toy soldier and even a black panther (the bad guy in the play) complete with tail. Tomorrow is the first performance, which we will give at a church up higher in the mountains, about 40 min from our town. Next week we will put it on again in our town.

We plan on sleeping in Monday and enjoying time with each other and maybe playing a little with our new presents! Merry Christmas!
