Merry Christmas


With wond'ring awe the wise men saw
The star in heaven springing,
And with delight, in peaceful night,
They heard the angels singing:

By light of star they traveled far
To seek the lowly manger,
A humble bed wherein was laid
The wondrous little Stranger.

And still is found, the world around,
The old and hallowed story,
And still is sung in ev'ry tongue
The angels' song of glory:

The heav'nly star its rays afar
On ev'ry land is throwing,
And shall not cease till holy peace
In all the earth is growing.

Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name!

We wish you all the peace and beauty of a meaningful Christmas season. He is the meaning.



Our Merry Christmas tree made by Kim's Beehive class, I am sure with love. It makes us happy every day. We also have received many cards from home and from members here. That's nice.

Your very first Welsh nativity? Cute. I'll bet they have some awesome ones over there!

Love that you look at our blog so quickly! But you gave me a good laugh. The nativity is one I bought in Prague, possibly when you were with me. It has been on the candy chest downstairs for years, in front of our little Prague houses. I had to bring something from home to make our home a home. We haven't seen any nativities yet, mostly because we have not gone to downtown Cardiff to the Market. We are still too afraid to try too many new adventures. So far we just go where we are told to go by our CES leader and the Mission President. We are getting a little braver a day at a time. Love you to pieces girl!

I am playing with our new Christmas present. Our computer would only work when it wanted and was turning off all the time, so you guessed it. Mark talked us into a Mac. Now to learn how to run it!!!! Thank Wayne for the email he sent Jack, he loved it. A Merry Christmas to you.
