CLICK ON THIS LINE FOR ALL PHOTOS OF THIS EVENT INCLUDING YOUR MISSIONARY WITH ZONE PICTURE AND SANTA. ONLY PART CAME TO TAKE PICTURES WITH US AT THE TEMPLE.
Wednesday we had the first of two Christmas Zone Conferences. Half of the Arizona Phoenix Mission was in attendance including Glendale North/Deer Valley Zone, Surprise Zone, West Maricopa Zone, Buckeye/Goodyear Zone and Peoria/Peoria North Zone
We had musical numbers mixed in throughout the day and they really brought the Spirit and atmosphere of Christmas.
We made sure to have some Christmas hymn singing as well.
Our mission is very musical!
During lunch we took zone photos with our Christmas props. Click on the link above to see your missionary's zone photo.
Part of the decorations included notes written by children of the ward and they were really sweet and heartfelt!
Lunch is one of our favorite times to catch up with friends and share a meal together.
And at the end of lunch we had a special visitor...SANTA!!!
Santa had an elf along today...who was perfect for the Sisters to sit on!
THANKS RODGERS!!!
Our Mission Fight Song was great!
And we celebrated our December birthdays!
After lunch we had our afternoon session including more music...and more great instruction.
It was a very spiritual day!
We learned about the gifts of the wisemen and the value they held.
We learned about the Prophet Joseph Smith and attributes he had.
We learned about the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
We learned the "rest of the story" for some of our favorite Preach My Gospel teaching situations.
Then it was off to the Mesa Temple to go serve the Lord there as a mission. Nothing can compare to being in the temple with those that you love...knowing we can be together as family and friends FOREVER!
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is so simple and so beautiful. We know how it will end. It is just up to us to choose the right to make the most of this time on earth.
We took time with whichever missionaries wanted photos with us after our temple time.
Once again, there are many more photos through the link at the top.
Back in Glendale, we met to distribute the current packages and mail along with a food delivery.
And we posed for a COAT PICTURE! This was a red letter day for me...the first time I got to wear my winter coat since we arrived in Phoenix almost 18 months ago!
MERRY CHRISTMAS FAMILY AND FRIENDS!
We are doing what we need to do to keep the Spirit of Christmas all year round...sharing what Jesus Christ came to earth to teach us!
WE LOVE YOU!
