The president and I decided to have a little get-together on Christmas Day for those zones closest to the mission home.

In preparation for this, several of the senior couples made salads, desserts, potato dishes, and relish trays. We provided ham and turkey and some desserts.

President, Elder Hyde, and 

Elder Argyle made a Russell family favorite; Scotch-a-roos. 

 With Elders Hyde and Argyle everything is a competition: who made the BEST 

Scotch-a-roos????

 We were entertained by Elders Bradley, Fakahua, Bearrs, and O'Neal: 

the South Pacific Sweetheart dancers

 These are just a few of the missionaries that came to the mission home.
