Are we really in central Europe having a Prague Christmas!?!........
Here's the proof...
Huge Christmas tree on Old Town Square - Staromeska
Out on a winters' night with the Alsops, Slovaceks and Sestra Brown at Old Town in Prague.
Look who came to our apartment for Family Home Evening on December 22nd..... 
District finding on Christmas Eve... Singing Christmas Carols in Czech and English at Namesti Republiky. We talked to a couple from Austria and another from Brazil. I even was able to use my Portuguese.
Dinner and Family Home Evening at the mission home on Christmas Eve
Even a visit from Santa and his reindeer!
Christmas morning.....
The Alsops and we hosted breakfast for all the missionaries in Prague .
We had a gift exchange and games. ( you would be amazed how coveted the 2 cans of A&W Rootbeer were!)

Huge Christmas tree on Old Town Square - Staromeska
Every town square; large or small sets up Christmas houses selling decorations, trinkets, warm woollies, food and mulled wine. (this we haven't tried.)

Look who came to our apartment for Family Home Evening on December 22nd.....Young Single Adults from the Prague Branch. Where's Waldo?

We wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR where ever you are!
Prague was a leading story on "Christmas Trees Around the World" for MSN. I truly did think of you and Mike when I saw that. It is absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWho'd of THUNK you would be using your Portuguese in the Czech Republic. Way to go Sestra Robbins.
I think all the "Where's Waldo?" pictures are so funny:) fancy x-mas lights, aren't they?! And how come sometimes you are "mama missy" and sometimes you are "sestra robbins"?
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you! You are missed here at home!
ReplyDeleteWhat lucky missionaries to spend Christmas with you! Happy 2009. I love you.
ReplyDeleteAs I see you both with all these missionaries I can't help thinking about their mothers and how happy they are to have such wonderful people looking after their sons and daughters, especially at Christmas. Be happy!! Sure love ya!
ReplyDeleteHello from Georgia! We heard about your mission and blog fron Russ and Ilene Wood. We were on the Holy Land tour with them. So excited for you both. We are planning to be on our mission in a year and a half. We think of you often and miss you terribly. Love Bill and Nancy Grant
