December 11, 2015

Bob: It is 11:00. Been home about 10 minutes. Went to a dinner, get together for YSA advisors at Bishop Finnigan's home. Most of them couldn't attend but there were 9 couples altogether. The Stake Presidency, a high councilman, the Bishop, and 3 advisors with their wives. After a wonderful dinner we had a white elephant gift exchange. We ended up with a box of chocolates which I forgot and left at the Bishop's house.
Went to Ajax this morning to help the Sister's move from one apartment to another. The Elders from Pickering came over and helped them with the heavy stuff. We had to take a door down but we were able to get everything out including the couch. It is going in the dumpster.
Weather was in the low 50s today. Much warmer than Salt Lake I noticed. Should be mild for a few more days too. The First Mate is loving it.
I am going to put some pictures from the party tonight below.
Love to all and good night brother.

Bonnie:  We had an enjoyable night, eating good food, having a White Elephant exchange, singing Christmas carols and hearing from our Bishop and Stake President. It was a great way to spend the evening. Tomorrow we will get up late and go Christmas shopping, although my big present will be going to see "Phantom of the Opera" on Thursday night in downtown Toronto.
I spent lots of time on the phone with UPSCanada today. They love to ask for more money at customs and for Canadian taxes. I had to contact 7 parents and tell them about having to pay more money for packages already delivered. I hate doing that. We are now down to about 40 missionaries without presents this Christmas. Each day the numbers improve. I hope it gets down to about 20. We can cover that! And I hope all of you are getting your Christmas shopping done! It's two weeks away now. Wow, the time is going fast!
Let's enjoy the most important things--our precious relationships with each other, especially our Savior, My love to all...Love, Mom/Bonnie
