Well, the branch (I should say, President Hopkins), put the Elders Quorum in charge of the Christmas party this year. Since Scott IS the Elders' Quorum right now, that meant that he and I were in charge. So, we decided to do things our own way and we made crepes! Actually Scott made all the crepes himself (flawlessly). I made all the fillings and some of the branch members came early to help cook the eggs, bacon and sausage...it was a big hit! The kids (Nolan, Kylee, Colby, Cade & Jeff) gave a live performance of jingle bells (trombone, flute and vocals), Sister Greenlaw prepared a Christmas craft for the kids (reindeer headbands, I think), and Santa paid a visit. Lots of less-actives and a few investigators came. We considered it a success and we were pleased to have pulled it off. We're still getting used to all the over-exposure of being in such a small congregation, but so far it's been really good for us.
That branch couldn't get any luckier than to have the Gordons put into it! Good Job!!
