Birds of Pray (Prey)

Serving with the Elders and Sisters here in Orlando we have been blessed to work with many solid, hard-working missionaries who are very committed to serving the Lord diligently.  However, once in a while we run across a odd situation or two that portrays the missionaries in a little different light.

Here we captured one of the sweet sisters "sneaking up" on
an unsuspecting contact at their apartment building. 

Our ward Christmas party was fairly successful.  Everyone who
came had plenty to eat and drink.

After the ward Christmas party, a few of the Elders just hung

around as long as possible to see how many leftovers they 

could score!  (In case you can't tell, these are vultures!)

Seriously, we love the missionaries so much and recognize their sacrifices and admire their dedication, especially at this time of year.

(If I, Cindy, may add something to Craig's punny post above...)  Speaking of this time of year, we are LOVING the emphasis on Christ that the lawn displays and radio stations here in the South have!  Ironically/Sadly, MUCH more than we find in Utah...

Exhibit A

OK - So the whole house was really done up, but there was
an emphasis on the Nativity!

What a wonderful time of year to be missionaries - and I don't just mean those of us who are full time!  We hope ALL of you take every chance you get this week to share your testimony with those you meet, even in passing... hearts are more open, softened and receptive!  We love you!  MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
