December 13th begins a week of Christmas activities. Monday night, the group that entered the mission field with us, know as, the August Harvesters, had a social to farewell some of the team who are leaving for home in December. The group is getting smaller and smaller, so that by March 2011, most will have returned home. Our speaker was Elder Kutcher (sic) who have taught at BYU and excavated many ruins in Egypt. His slide show was very interesting and showed several links to Christianity and the Temple.
