Mission Call to Guatemala!!!

Glory Academy got a tour of Oakdell's Egg Farm--incredible operation.  Over a million eggs every day!  There favorite part though was the swim afterwards.

Hyrum received his patriarchal blessing on December 5th.  It is times like these that I realize I am simply a steward over these amazing people for a short time on this journey we call mortality.

Monday night was the start of getting lights on the tree... (James and Sariah realized very quickly that this was a painful process with the tree we chose.  OUCH!)

...and making donuts.  Sister Inglima had been at our house that day for 4 hours stringing popcorn.

We have watched A LOT of basketball lately and this week we will have 6 nights of basketball games in a row!

Tuesday after Sariah's game we huddled in the van while Bryant shared his mission call on Facebook--Guatemala Coban Mission!!!  He had opened it earlier with just Talmage.  All of his current roommates served in Central America and most of them served in Guatemala.  The packing list includes a mosquito net and apparently the weather is "eternal spring."

We didn't make it to the Medical Lake game but we wanted Sariah to know we were thinking of her.

By Wednesday we finally had lights on the tree.  Friday, the ornaments went on.

Took longer than it ever has, but we finally have a decorated Christmas Tree and it is a floor to ceiling wonder.
