CHRISTMAS 2011 IN GULU, UGANDA

It didn't seem like Christmas until the Elders came over and decorated our tree so we could put their packages under it.

Elder Ledwaba, South Africa, Elder Tyler, Provo, Utah, Elder McNeill, Syracuse, Utah, Elder Chaya, Zimbabwe, Elder Mushonga, Zimbabwe, Elder Molefe, South Africa.

Elder Ledwaba

Elder Mushonga

For dinner on Christmas Eve, we had curried rice pilaf,  sweet potatoes with g-nut sauce and rolls.  For dessert we had custard and brownies.

Christmas Morning at our house.

Of course Robert got a tie for Christmas.

On Christmas night, we had a devotional and sang carols.

For Christmas Dinner we had baked ham and chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, scalloped corn, jello with fruit, cabbage and pineapple salad and rolls.  For dessert, fresh pineapple upside down cake.

Elder Tyler talking to his family.
 Shortly after the Elders all made their calls, the internet and the power went off and we weren't able to call our children until the next day.  That was a disappointment.

The Elder's with their gifts that someone from the US sent money for.
 It's a good thing that Elder Ledwaba got some new socks.

OUR FIRST CHRISTMAS IN UGANDA WAS A VERY PLEASANT EXPERIENCE.
