Mongolian Christmas

Well it does feel strange being Christmas Eve and all... but I love the season... the music, cheerful people, and recognizing Jesus Christ in our lives. It seems like only a day ago I was in Mongolia celebrating Christmas... 2006 style...

Last night I was introduced to some new friends, and we talked a little bit about the mission... and what Mongolia is like, etc... After coming home, I couldn't help but think about the wonderful Christmas I celebrated there. So I'll show you all what goes on...

A few of us missionaries got together and sang the National Anthem to start off the Christmas Party 2006 in our suits...

I only took about 70 pictures at that party.... : / ... So I won't throw them all on here, but I've gotta represent for the Mission President and his wonderful wife.


(Sister Bryner, Me, President Bryner)


This is probably about 60-70 percent of the missionaries posing after our Christmas Party

That's just a sneak-peek of a Mongolian style Christmas I guess...
Welp, Merry Christmas to you all!!!

Seems like just a few days ago when we saw those photos for the first time. Thanks for sharing again. We're happy you were there last Christmas, but glad you are back in Mesa, AZ, now!

Hm. I thought I commented on this a few hours ago, but perhaps I did something wrong. I know that is hard to believe. Anyways, I have to admit, I'm glad you are here this Christmas. Thanks for sharing Mongolia with us.

Hey there EdDude! I wanted to let you know that your Mission President in the above picture will be speaking in my ward on Sunday. :) Would you like me to relay a message for you? He'll be speaking on the work in Mongolia, so I'm WAY excited to learn more. :) Have a very happy new year!
