Senior Couples FHE

It has been our pleasure to meet at least once per transfer with the senior missionary couples for Family Home Evening. Sometimes we have a potluck luncheon, other times we have snacks and desserts. It's never about the food...okay, maybe a little. When we get together with these wonderful couples, the spirit is so strong. We've heard wonderful gospel messages and powerful testimonies from our couple missionaries. We've been blessed to serve with many couples in the past three years and we feel a close bond of friendship with each of them. Thank you, Senior Couples, we love you!

Christmas 2013
For our senior couple activity in December 2013, we met with all the district presidents and their wives for a Christmas party. Elder and Sister Shamrell wrapped many presents for a "white elephant" game in which each of us received the same gifts. Their message was centered on the birth of Christ and that He is the light and Savior of the world. The Mortensens had received boxes of donated clothing from their home ward. They presented one box to each district president for them to distribute to those who were in need. Everyone had an enjoyable time visiting, singing Christmas hymns and, of course, eating delicious treats!
