Ready for Christmas - 24 December 2018

Michael is ready for Christmas. Jen sent Michael a 2' prelit Christmas tree and he has received his presents. I love that he set the tree on top of the stack of presents to make it bigger.



We are very excited for Christmas tomorrow because it is one of the two days that we get to talk to him via Skype or Facetime. Can't wait!



New Area and New Companion - Dec 18, 2018

Michael was transferred to the Santa Margarita Zone this past week. He now is serving with Elder Walker. They are excited to serve together!


Ward and Mission Christmas Party - Dec 17, 2018

Michael got a sneak peek of Santa at their Ward Christmas Party.


All of the missionaries in his mission got together for a Christmas party. Here is Michael in his last San Clemente Zone picture.


At the missionary party, several of the missionaries performed a skit for entertainment. Michael and his companion Elder Martin, performed a cooking skit and had everyone cracking up. To give a bit of a background on this skit, the week before the party, the Mission President decided that church members were not allowed to feed the missionaries in their homes anymore because it was taking away from the ideal hours for them to find people. Also, they are on a limited food budget as well. So Michael decided to do a skit on how to make soup from the natural things around their apartment like sticks and leaves and to season using dirt. I was told that it was hilarious.
