Christmas in San Diego at the Mormon Battalion was a great experience. We had sunny skies, beautiful pointsettias that were outside, and warm weather. We started the month by giving the sister missionaries socks for their apartments. Sister Woodbury thought of it and we all helped. They were excited to have this little bit of home here on their missions. We gave the sister missionaries books that were about their mission. We compiled their experiences of why they came on a mission, their favorite scripture, and when they had seen hearts touched at the battalion. We hope it will be something they will treasure about their mission, something they can look back on, read and reread that will always remind them of the spiritual strength they gained as missionaries.
We sent Christmas Cards of us in front of "Levi" the statue of a member of the Mormon Battalion that stands at the entrance to the Battalion
All of the senior couples had some family here for Christmas. Family at Christmas made it much more meaningful.
