It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas

With December comes a number of activities.  It was transfer time again for the mission and, It's starting to look like Christmas around here.  We said goodbye to Sister Williams and Sister Wharton (sort of in that she went to Yani).

One nice things is that the missionary home came with a tree and most fo the trimmings.

 Enjoying a meal at a little restaurant we found called The Broccoli Grill.  It was a great hamburger place.

On December 4th we welcomed to the Navy Air Wing 5 to MCAS Iwakuni.  They have been moved here from NAS Atsugi and were returning from a 3 month deployment on the USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76).

The air wing retuned just in time to spend Christmas with their families.

We had a great opportunity to go to Hiroshima for a Bi-Zone training meeting.

Geri and I received service awards from the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society for having each reached the 600 volunteer hours mark
