Christmas and January Transfers

 CHRISTMAS CAROLING AT NEW STREET
As we gather for our Christmas party in Birmingham, the missionaries go to New Street in the center of the city to sing Christmas carols.
                                      Its a wonderful way to share the Spirit of Christ at Christmas...
The Elders and Sisters take every opportunity to talk to people, give out copies of the Book of Mormon, and pass along cards.

Our CHRISTMAS party is the only time during the year when the whole mission comes together..
.its a wonderful occasion!



It wouldn't be Christmas without our traditional performance of the
HAKA...




 Some of our Nottingham Elders entertaining us...

With the end of 2011, we look ahead to increasing our vision, our faith, and our diligence as we serve...

A great way to start...

Hi Sister and Brother Odgen. I am Kim Hansen, Elder Zack Hansen's mom from Utah. I was so excited to get your letter today and to know of this blog. Thank you for informing me about it. Oh, I'm just thrilled for Zack to be over there in England with you. Thank you for all you do for our Church, for our Heavenly Father and for these missionaries. I sure appreciate you.
