We had a Relief Society Christmas program which turned out to be a beautiful night. Not only were the tables beautifully decorated, but they were overflowing with food! About 70 of the sisters in our ward gathered and enjoyed talking and eating.
Around the room were many beautiful nativity displays that sisters had been brought from their homes. Several had written explanations as to why that particular nativity scene was special to their family.
The program was a combination of music poetry, stories, and scriptures. It went very well. There are so many who were willing to share their instrumental and vocal talents, and I appreciated them so much (I was in charge of the program). All in all, it was a beautiful night.
We also went to the Mesa temple one night this week. I love the peace that I feel there.
The grounds of the temple were lit up with many, many Christmas lights...it was SOOO beautiful!
These are about half life-size camels with the three wise men all created out of lights. It is situated in a grassy area off at a distance and is stunning. (Sorry this picture is a little blurred.)
There was a choir singing beautifully by the visitor's center...that's their reflection in the large pool of water that extended out in front of them.
This was a large nativity set out on another part of the lawn...I love the star!
On Saturday the girls came over for dinner to celebrate Nicole's successful completion of another semester of school. Yea Nicole!
On Sunday we watched the First Presidency's Christmas Devotional, which was a beautiful ending to our first week in December.
