We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Eve at the mission home with the Fowlers and the local missionaries. The traditional dinner was fantastic and it was a chance to see the Gibbons who are leaving soon. There was a copy of Pride and Prejudice sheet music on the piano so I felt right at home.
We had a white elephant gift exchange and I won a shepherd set from Timisoara. This shepherd and haystack are surrounded by 6 sheep, all carved and fired into clay figurines. Absolute win. Paul won candles and potpourri, which to my shock, he began using immediately when we got home.
I love the excitement around Christmas and the love we feel so easily for each individual child of God.
Sister Fowler had this picture of the Seattle Temple hanging in the hallway. I have such wonderful memories here.
