Miracle Christmas and a Covid free New Year

First there was Covid and then earthquakes and then firs and now Covid raises it’s ugly head again. That is ok because we are celebrating the greatest miracle ever to happen on earth. That is the miracle of the birth or our Savior Jesus Christ. Joy to the World is what He brought. I want you all to get in the mood for this season by watching “The Christ Child” by following this link. https://youtube.com/watch?v=umwLi5n3WtM&feature=share 



Sister Bartlett decided to be creative using face masks. You need something to do with all those left over masks.



One of our districts had a gingerbread house making contest. There were some original designs and some pretty artsy ones. We were part of the judging.







We were at Target and found this cool Lama Christmas Sweater. Our Daughter in Law loves Lamas so when we told here about it. She headed to Target and within 30 minutes she sent us this picture of her in the sweater. Some things you just have to have.












Our Missionaries are getting a lot of packages for Christmas. This is what the Postman brought in just one day. That was only the Postman, we also receive packages from Amazon, FedEx, UPS and others.

This is what our Mission President’s office looked like on Thursday before we started sorting Christmas packages.







On Friday we started sorting the Christmas packages into companionships to be given to Missionaries next week in a drive by Christmas giving next week. We plan to wear our Christmas elf hats we found at the dollar store. Ho Ho Ho!



To sum up this blog we would like to let you know we have been so blessed this year even though Covid is still here and unrest is happening here in the US and around the world. There are still miracles going on all around us. Each day we see videos from our Missionaries telling of the miracles that have happened that day. It is amazing what the Lord is doing in these times. More people are turning to the Lord for answers and they are finding our Missionaries in the process.

Therefore we wish you all a Christmas filled with Miracles and a cure for Covid New Year!
Love,
Elder and Sister Bartlett
