Serving in the Red Rocks

By the way, mother is always the one posting to this blog.  Dad is not interested, unless he has had a great story to tell.   Well the week of Nov. 18 through the 21 was a really busy one.  It is a tradition at the historical sites to put up decorations for Christmas.  The senior missionaries do all the decorating.  On the day after Thanksgiving, they turn on the Temple Christmas lights.   It is a really big event.  Lots of people come to the St. George Temple.  They have the temple president speak and choirs sing.  Everything is decorated to bring in the Christmas spirit.

This is the family room at Jacobs home. 

 

The family room is located on the second floor of Jacobs home.  They slept here, had school, parties, church in this room. 

We are in the St. George Tabernacle.  This is where they will hold Christmas concerts every night before and after Christmas.  There is really alot of wonderful musical talent in St. George.

This is the nativity display at the Visitor center. 

This Christmas tree is in the Brigham Young home. 

On Thursday Nov. 21 Jay and I served at the Brigham Young home in the morning.  When our shift was over we left for awhile but came back to his home.  A college roommate of mine was sitting on the front porch of the house.  I was sitting in the car and Elder Bowcutt brought them over to the car.  Doug and Mary Jane Anderson were looking for us and decided to visit Brighams home.  What a wonderful surprise to see them and go to dinner with them that evening.
