December 19th through Christmas Day: Monday: We did our cleaning and grocery shopping and had a very lazy afternoon resting up. Tuesday through Friday: We worked both morning and evening shifts. I officiated in 3 sessions during the week. We had a zone of missionaries from the Quito North Mission come each morning. We also attended a little party for the temple workers in the patron housing cafeteria after each shift. Some of them had gelatin salads, others bought pizza, others had chicken and rice. The workers really enjoyed getting together. We contributed a drink for most of the shifts.

Saturday: We went and did some Christmas shopping for gifts for the children of David and Fernanda's children, President Aguirre's grandchildren. We received a much appreciatead invitation to go to dinner at President Aguirre's home for Christmas Eve dinner. We were feeling a little homesick. President Aguirre picked us up at 5:00 pm and we spent the evening at his home. Dinner was two turkeys cooked differently. One was covered in bacon.
Dinner was delicious and then we went upstairs to Fernanda's apartment and opened all the presents. It was a little chaotic. It reminded me of when our children were small.
The grandchildren had to dance before they could open presents.
The floor was completely covered in the end.
