Week 16 - On-line Christmas visit with Äldste Denton

We had a great 40 minute on-line face to face visit with Carter on Christmas day. He looks like he is happy and doing very well. We met his companion Äldste Cook who said some very kind things about Carter including that his Swedish language skills are very good. They also sang the Swedish version of Happy Birthday for us which contained a couple of exuberant Hoorahs! Also a Hymn. Carter said that recently his zone (missionaries) picked a spot in the busy Hubbub of Christmas shoppers and sang Christmas hymns for everyone. He said he enjoyed doing that. I asked him about his package and he said that he received his package at his Mission conference a few weeks earlier but had left it on the train when returning to Sundsvall his assigned area. It took him several weeks to track it down but was able to find it after buisness hours thanks to the kindness of Lady with a key. Whew! That would have been an interesting Christmas without a package from home, A happy ending thank goodness! We all asked him some questions and before we knew it, it was time to say goodbye :(  Those visits are always too short.

Hope you all enjoyed a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to you!!!
