Branch Christmas Party

Our branch planned a Christmas party for Dec. 23rd with games, food, a devotional and a dance.  The dance didn't materialize but it was a very fun and well attended party with games, food and a devotional which was a showing of the 1st Presidency's Christmas Devotional.  For the games, they played volleyball, the bean bag board game and the children played with jump ropes.  The food was rice pilaf with beef, doughnuts, water and safi (a fruit drink).


Robert enlisted Steven, the first counselor in the Branch Presidency to help make the boards for the bean bag game.


They had to make it with whatever materials were available here in Gulu.
These are the rules
Many enjoyed watching and visiting.

The dumpster in the background is really the baptismal font.  The hose is filling it for the baptism on Saturday.


The cooks, Louries, Brenda and Gloria.



Angel, the son of President James and his cousin brother. 



The tournament board with the missionaries in charge.
The game was a hit!
