Dear Missionary Parents,
There are not words to express our gratitude for the
generous donations and packages received from you this season. Every elder and sister serving here at
Christmas received packages and mail, and thanks to your assistance, not one
was left out, not one was without a gift to make Christmas special for
them.
This year each zone had a Christmas program focused
on the birth of the Savior. Sister Brown
and I were able to spend a few minutes talking about the Savior’s birth and
expressing our love to the missionaries. Following the program, we enjoyed a
Christmas dinner prepared and served by Sister McPherson and Sister
Medley. They served a traditional
Jamaican dinner of chicken, ham, rice and peas, potato salad, Jamaican vegetable,
Jamaican pudding cake and ice cream.
After dinner, Elder Havili, Elder Jarvis and I donned our Santa hats and
distributed all of the packages. As
names were called out, there were smiles, and looks of surprise from some who
thought there would be no gifts for them. We have captured some of the fun with
pictures. We wish you could have shared
in the sounds as well, but rest assured that your contributions were of great
value in making each Christmas party a wonderful event for all of our missionaries.
Jesus Christ is the true gift of Christmas. That fact cannot be denied. But as we stood and looked on your sons and
daughters, it was very clear that they too are God’s gift to mankind. They are
also part of the true gifts of Christmas as they represent the Savior of the
world in their mission to the Caribbean people.
With
sincere appreciation,
President
