Christmas Away From Home
Being raised American and Christian, it is very difficult to celebrate Christmas without family.  Imagine what it would have been like years ago with the only communication being via letter.  Amidst all the blessings of modern life, I would rank high tech communications as one blessing for which I am most grateful.

In short, it was a great blessing to touch bases with our family on Christmas Day, one of the most special days of the entire year!

A couple who were recently baptized into the church invited us and the Tongan Sister Missionaries to both Thanksgiving AND Christmas dinner.  We are VERY grateful for their hospitality. 

We love the faith and enthusiasm of our young Tongan sisters.
