Christmas Celebration #2 Manzanillo, Colima and Guzman Zones 12-19-17

What a day we had with these three zones for our Christmas Celebration!
Manzanillo, Colima and Guzman Zones!
Here are some highlights of our day together.  Elder Long got us started.


Thank you to Elder Colvin for playing the piano 
for us while we sang Christmas carols.




Skits and musical numbers came next.











Our Christmas picture with the whole group!


Someone found some mistletoe!


We divided everyone into twelve small groups and had
them create a poster for their part of the song
The Twelve Days of Christmas   
Drawing two turtle doves, or nine ladies dancing
or twelve drummers drumming...etc 
Then, as we sang the song, each group held their sign
up high and sang out, loud and clear.. their part.  It was fun!

the Five Golden Rings group


Gift exchange


The gifts changed hands again and again as a silly
story was read by the assistants leading everyone to
 trade their gifts to the right or to the left!





President and I sang a family favorite...
Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat...
Please put a penny in the old man's hat.
If you haven't got a penny, a ha'penny will do.
If you haven't got a ha'penny, then
God bless you!
God bless you!


President Clayton read the Christmas story from Luke 2.



Let's take one more look at these marvelous missionaries!


Merry Christmas!
