Christmas Dinner

After church, we got changed, packed up and headed off to Sparwood. The roads were so so. We just took it a little slower than usual and we we're fine. We had dinner at the Nelsons,  it first we got to Skype Jordan who is on a mission in Guatemala.

 

Everyone was keen to get in on the conversation. 

 

He called from the church building, which apparently doesn't have very good wifi. It kept cutting out. He would just call back again. 

 

It's just about as fun to watch the parents as it is to talk to him.

He wowed us with his Spanish.

 

Next visit will be on Mother's Day!
