On Christmas Eve the big white mission van headed North
loaded with presents, goodie bags for the 14 missionaries serving in Limpopo.
We met there with our wonderful missionaries and senior couples and showed a
movie, shared some gifts and had dinner together.
President Dunn had arranged for a very special Christmas surprise
as he was able to secure a screening
copy of “Meet the Mormons” for a special viewing with our missionaries. He
first put on an old Christmas movie (Mr. Kruger’s Christmas) and made everyone
think that was the movie we were going to watch. Then, without notice, he and
the AP’s stopped the movie and said, “Wait a minute, isn’t there something
newer than this to watch?” They then surprised and delighted everyone, by
turning on “Meet the Mormons”. This was a very special circumstance and group
to be with, to watch this amazing film just released by the church.
Below are our trusty elf Zone leaders, Elder Reed and Elder Olson.
Thanks to Sister Brammer, Winward and Harward for hosting
the gathering and providing a fun meal for everyone. It was a great way to
spend Christmas Eve. All the senior couples in the NorthEast had fun Christmas morning plans including a breakfast together.

Below are pictures from Christmas morning in Roodepoort.
150+ missionaries gathered and we had a most wonderful time together.
President
Dunn did a similar movie surprise, but even more dramatic, with such a big
audience. It was funny to hear and see their reaction to the surprise of
getting to view “Meet the Mormons.”
Again, a huge thanks to all who made this day possible, from
generous members, senior couples and parents. A heartfelt thanks!!

Thank you sooo much for doing this for our sons! You guys could have had a nice quiet Christmas morning with your own sweet traditions and skyped your own family and just kind of "taken the day off". Instead, you made it so every elder felt special and noticed and excited for Christmas. With the help of those amazing Christmas boxes that the awesome members made, you took the 'sting' of not having family around you...away from them on their Christmas away from home. You really went above and beyond as you GAVE to these elders the gift of unity and love and acceptance and belonging. Just like the Savior did. Thank you for your Christlike and selfless sacrifice...this Christmas and every day you are out there serving!
