Christmas this side of the pond!

It's hard to find time to keep updated on what Gareth is up to as well as what we are doing here!

I am aware that I don't very often post pictures of me (and the kids do moan about my choices of shots of them) So here is a picture of me today, opening presents still in my new PJs!

And here is the lunch.

We have had a lovely day today, we made a few changes to our normal Christmas routines just so that we could feel ok abut Gareth being away.  It was lovely to talk to him, easier than we thought after 4 months and now we have done it once we can look forward to Mother's day!!!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Day Call

Here is our man in the field, Elder Gareth Williams, looking happy and well all the way from California.  I am really grateful for modern technology allowing us to have this special hour with our son on Christmas Day.

Waterfall P-Day Trip

Looks beautiful!  If this was in Wales right now I think the water level would be somewhat higher.

Christmas in Loomis

Gareth and his fellow missionaries helped to put up the Christmas lights on this home.  

Well done Gareth you can do the tree in 2017!

Gifts

This is Elder Williams modelling his new Christmas hat from day 1 of his advent package.

This is the best gift of all, the message of the gospel and the love of our Saviour, which Gareth gets to share everyday with people who are seeking the light of Christ in their lives.
