Nothing adventurous in Nam to report, just some brief weekend hi-lites:
We attended a holiday BIZARRE at the White Palace on Saturday afternoon. The consulates of each represented country in Vietnam came together and planned a huge bizarre with food, a raffle drawing, baked goods, clothing, jewelry, Christmas ornaments, and Santa Claus. All the benefits went towards a children's charity.

| Trying to have Drey & Enzo's picture taken with Santa Claus....not so jolly of a time. Enzo was FREAKING out keeping a death grip on Troy and Drey was finding some sort of safe place hiding behind Troy's legs.... |
 |
| If you could only hear Enzo's scream.... |
 |
| The compromise....mom and dad will sit in the picture with you :) |
 |
| It's a sad life being deprived of carpet :) |
 |
| How can I deny them the joy of carpet even as disgusting and dirty as this is? |
 |
| Even popular in Vietnam.... |
 |
Canada had to be my favorite booth. They had the BEST felt Christmas ornaments and quilts.
|
Our Sunday was particularly nice . We had 8 baptisms this morning! To watch 8 people be baptized who are so new to the gospel, but believe so strongly, is a pretty powerful experience. And I'm not sure why I was so surprised to hear the Christmas hymns in Sacrament meeting. The warm weather is really throwing me off during this Christmas season. It's crazy how much I associate the season changes in Utah with the holidays. The First Noel sang in Vietnamese is beautiful.

Our newest YW, Hang. Her older sister and parents were also baptized today. We now have a group of 5 Young Women. Hang had a special spirit about her from the first day she came to our class. Betsye is the YW President and I am her 2nd counselor.
