Goodbye Randy and Rebecca Stay and Christmas celebrations

Another luncheon.....this time to say goodbye to Rebecca Stay.  Rebecca and her husband work with the humanitarian department and have served two missions here.  She also teaches and old testament class......she majored in Hebrew and her knowledge of the old testament is second to none.  We have enjoyed learning from her. 
 We went to hear a vocal group called KAMMERCHOR VOCALIS.  They put on a concert at the church of Christmas music.  Christian Wolfurt (far right) from the OGC office (he is the legal coordinator for the office) invited us to come and hear the group.  We are glad we did.  They sang mostly in German but some were in English, but the melodies were all familiar.  It was an evening well spent.

 One of the favorite things that Tony does, is on Sundays, after church, he takes a walk thru the cemetery across the street from where we live.  Below is a picture of it right after a Sunday snow fall.


                    This is what the cemetery looked like just one week before the snow fall.

My sweet husband in our apartment......I just like this picture because I caught him and he wasn't posing.

I took this picture from my kitchen window on Sunday while the snow was falling
Elder Ault, (second from left) will be going home next week so we had all five of these young missionaries over for dinner.  They are great kids and appreciate a "home cooked" meal from American whenever they can get it!  They all live in our apartment complex and we see them quite often as they are coming and going as they do their work here.  So grateful for young men like these that give up two years of college or whatever they are doing between the ages of 18 and 21.  I am so grateful that our son, Hunter was able to serve two years in Idaho.
