Christmas is not over yet!

Since we could not gather together for our Zone Christmas activities we had a drive by Christmas party with the Missionaries. They drove by and we gave them their gifts and President and Sister Zimmerman gave them a gift. It was very festive.

These are our office Elders. Yes that is an amazing Christmas had. I think it came from the Mad Hatter. Everyone was in the Christmas Spirit at the Mission Office.

Yes even Sister Bartlett I got into the act with our Elf hat and ears. 

Now those with weak stomachs should not view the following video. Just warning you!

Now that you are sick to your stomach from the Flossing Elf we can continue.

I will call this the Covid angel. Sister Bartlett created it from some of the many face masks we have don’t worry they were not used ones.

To close this blog I will include a couple of poem’s I wrote.

I will call it “Christmas Is”

“Christmas is about Jesus Christ,

And his humble birth.

Christmas is about the Angels,

Declaring he came to earth.

Christmas is about the holy family,

In a manger mild.

Christmas is about the shepherds,

Come to see the child.

I hope you enjoyed that. Now I will include a poem I wrote about our “Sunday before Christmas”.

‘Twas the Sunday before Christmas at 6:30 am,

the Phone started ringing which startled up poor Sam.

The Missionary exclaimed that he threw up all night,

and the pain in his stomach gave us great fright.

To the closet we rose to get ready to go,

do you think we had time to fix breakfast, oh no.

Down the road in our car to his side we did fly, 

then on to the emergency room, no lie.

Due to the Covid they did not let us in,

we waited in the car for 5 hours and then.

The doctors decided his appendix was done,

so in a few hours he didn’t have one.

But that is not all that did happen this day,

for two Elders did call us much in dismay.

They were exposed to the Covid virus last Saturday,

and did’t find out till it was today.

We told them they had to stay socially distant,

don’t visit Missionaries or friends right this instant.

You would think that was all that could happen this day,

but there is more story so read on all the way.

For a Sister did call us just a few minutes later,

a dog did bite her while she was visiting a neighbor.

To the Urgent care Sister Bartlett did send,

to see if the doctors her wound there could mend.

After that we did jump when the phone gave a ring,

an Elder who wanted a bike us to bring.

No church did we get for our worship that day,

we did it together with each other did pray.

That no more would our Missionaries have a mishap,

so we could lay down for a long winters nap.

But much to our surprise another did call,

from his leg an ingrown hair he did pull.

Now infection and a sore he does have,

suffering with pain and nothing for salve.

No more did the phone ring and it ended all bright,

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

We love you all and hope you had a very Merry Christmas

From Elder and Sister Bartlett
