We are in the Cornwell district.  Here we are after a cleaning assignment.  

Here I am with S/Odikirk making cookies in the Bistro.  

Here in Nauvoo we do a Christmas celebration on two Saturdays, inviting all to come.  We have a short lighting of the tree ceremony with missionaries singing a song Light Up the Tree.  Then there is a live nativity in the theater put on by the missionaries with a choir.  The teamsters decorate up 3 wagons with lights and such then shuttle people from the Family Living Center to Main street where guest get off and go into 4 different sites for some Christmas stories and music.  Then they are shuttled back to the FLC where they have cookies, treats and hot cocoa and cider.  

More cookie making with the E/Pinette. 

Serving cookies at the Family Living Center.         

The Young Sister Missionaries came to help on the wagons.
