Moscow Mission Christmas Party


December 24, 2009




We had so much fun! The party lasted all day (we were gone for twelve hours) and it was just like being with family. There were games and ping pong in the basement. The movie, "It's a Wonderful Life," was shown, missionary skits, talent show, pictures taken, snacks all day and dinner in the evening, a mission movie, a new nativity movie, white elephant gift exchange, lots of visiting and meeting new people. All in all we had a great time!

Games in the basement.


Jim playing Settlers with the missionaries. Just like home
(except Alex and Tate weren't there).
He also played chess with Elder Arutunian.

Elder Hansen. First met him as we were "running" with
Elder Nikolyachev (very tall, therefore we had to run to keep up with him)
and Elder Hansen in the metro on our way to our new branch.

President and Sister Cranney with their two children,
(others are in Utah)
singing Silent Night in Russian.

I'm glad you had a merry christmas with your new family. Keeping up traditions, especially when your away from loved ones always brings them closer to you. A lesson I quickly learned in Cleveland.
