After arriving home we went to California for 5 days and then returned home to Utah. We had a lot to do and finally got everything in order for Christmas. We had some friends over for dinner and we read the story of the birth of Christ and sang carols. It was a fun evening. I finally have hastily taken pictures of our nativities. It has been fun to have family and friends drop by to see them all.
We miss you all and most especially miss our daily assignments in the temple. I was nice to be with good friends and to be sheltered from the world. We appreciate more and more the wonderful blessing it was to be in the service of our Heavenly Father. Each one of you is special to us and we will be eternally grateful for our associations with you. Returning home has been good but to not be involved with the daily grind of life back home was a true blessing. Please give our best to our Spanish brothers and sisters as well.
Attached are the photos of the nativities. They cover all the countries of South America, Central America, Turkey, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and many of the U S States. We also have one that some have said is inappropriate, you determine which one and if you agree. I will post the other pictures of our trip through Normandy, San Michel and Paris in a few days. We had a wonderful trip with our daughter for 6 days. We love you all.
Bill & Nancy
