It's begining to look like Christmas around Johannesburg, South Africa. This is picture of Mom with Sister Becky Hoffman. Sister Hoffman is a nurse and her husband is a doctor. Gus Hoffman is the medical advisor for the Africa Southeast Area. 

A week ago last Sunday we visited the Johannesburg, South Africa Missionary Training Center. They put on the Christmas story for the senior missionaries. Here are some wise men and some shepherds. 

"And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." (Luke 2:13,14)

A picture of all 32 missionaries in the MTC. They left for their respective fields of labor this past Tuesday. Some will stay here in South Africa, others will head to Kenya, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. 

Mom decorated the Area Office Christmas tree with what was on hand.

This is the Christmas scene at our apartment. I purchased this ebony nativity set last week. Mom got the beaded Christmas tree. She brought the stockings and Ann Gladwell's white angel from home. If you look close you'll see some grandchildren.
