The Mision Este Christmas Gala

A highlight of our service here is working with the young Elders, and not just the sick ones.  We really enjoyed last year's party and were not disappointed this year.  They party is on P-day and this year was moved to the Ozama Stake center, as the usual Gazcue building is being remodeled. We arrived in time for the talent show, a mixture of serious carols and songs and some humorous skits. The Elders then sang Christmas carols as zones.  It was great to see so many happy faces, engaged in the Lord's work.  Such a contrast to the news of the world.  We had a nice lunch there too.  A marvelous day.
