This blog was inspired by Lian's call to the mission field as a full time missionary, and so the website address renejenny-mission.blogspot.com. Now that she has completed, I will post thoughts, events, activities related to my spiritual life.
It was just a sit-down dinner for the members. The Primary sang some Christmas songs.
I like this picture of Suzie and her husband.
Dinner was provided. We need only to bring a dessert, enough for another family. We made chewy brownies and in return we got to fill our tray with the leftover shrimp crackers. We love shrimp crackers!
This was such a good idea, to share the Christmas cheer with our Senior Sisters who couldn't come to church meetings because of their physical and health situations.
We met at the Relief Society room before dispersing in 4 groups to visit the respective designated Sister. Our group got to visit Sister Brown. We took with us dinner (that was already prepared by some of the sisters for this evening) and ate with Sister Brown. We sang the carols that she chose. In our group, we sang "Joy to the World" and "Silent Night". Each of us take turn asking Sister Brown questions (that were already printed out) about her life, etc. We ended with the visit in presenting her ornaments.
This activity also foster closer relationship between the visiting sisters as well!
Fellow-shipping for the night continued at Sister Paul's residence. The 4 groups gathered back at Sister Paul's home instead of the church.
This is my favourite picture of the evening - mother and daughter!
I cried too easily. When I saw the child kneeling down, my eyes were teary. While we are worried about how we are going to pass the Christmas with no money to have a good feast or buy presents for loved ones (or people), we forgot the real reason for Christmas - the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. The little girl remembers. And it goes to say that "Little Children will teach us"
