Grandma Chubby's Stuff: Missionary Christmas Parties in the Transilvania and Occidentala Zones

A favorite time in December is when we get to spend one of the days, of our two-day zone conference, celebrating Christmas and enjoying each others company. Our missionaries work very hard all year and this activity is a special treat for all of us. We usually start by playing games all morning and then have a special lunch around noon time. After that we have a Christmas program with Christmas music and missionary skits. The missionaries don't have much time to put their skits together and it is amazing what they come up with in a short time. Some are really good and some leave us all scratching our heads! But no matter, we love them all! We then had our famous gift exchange game where the elders exchanged ties and the sisters traded scarves. Afterwards we ended the day with a spiritual thought and the movie, "The Nativity". The photos below are of the party we held for the Transilvania and Occidentala Zones (the cities of Oradea, Cluj, Arad, Timisoara and Deva). We had a wonderful time and hope you will be able to see it in these snapshots. The videos are just clips of the skits as I couldn't download the whole skits. But maybe you will see someone you know and be able to feel the fun, the joy and the love we have in our mission.
