Merry Christmas everyone!! Hope you Christmas was wonderful! Ours was different to say the least we spent an hour traveling to an open house and an hour stuck in traffic in a bus so we decided to walk because the Elders were coming to eat with us in less than an hour and just a few minutes after we stepped off the bus it rounded the round-about and took off sailing down the street and there we were walking.But we walked fast and what would usually have taken us 30 minutes we skimmed down to 15 or 20. But we had a nice meal of tacos with the four young Elders in our district. Then we were able to talk to all of our kids over Skype and see them and Caleb in Guatemala over the phone (we couldn't see him) but using Skype (which is way cheaper than the regular phone). Christmas in St. Petersburg is celebrated on January 6 and some businesses and the government offices are closed from Jan. 1 to the 12, talk about an extended holiday. So it was a different experience to see everyone doing their daily jobs on Christmas. Well again hope you season was wonderful.
We love You!!!!
