We arrived before 8 am at the office. Elder and Sister Warnick were heading home after 23 months in the London South Mission. They have been such a wonderful support to the YSA and to help with flats. They will be missed. They live in Logan, Utah. I can just imagine the wonderful reunion with their family. They will be missed. I was a bit worried about their flying Delta with the power outage the day before and all the people that were delayed because of it.
It was a quite day at the office.
Elder Wallace and I attended a Christmas Contata tonight. We debated if we would go or not. We decided to go and see how crowded it was at the Visitors Centre. If there weren't any chairs we would go home. When we got there it was just about to start and Sister Lock motioned and said in a loud voice, "There is room for you on the front row." The place was packed and heads turned and looked at us and we meekly went to the front row and sat down. We were very blessed for being there. Sister Carlene Corrigan told about why she had written the Christmas Contata. She had seen "The Lamb of God" and it impressed her so much she wondered is she could ever write a contata. During the early morning she woke with the words and music in her head. She got our her phone and recorded the song so she wouldn't forget it. She was able to write this beautiful and heartfelt contata and we were priveliged to have heard it. The Crawley Stake has put the Christmas Contata on three years in row. We knew several of the singers. Sister Corrigan had flute and a cello with the piano besides 10 singers with a narrator.
I got a call from Sister Stevens from the London Mission who wanted all of the names of people that helped with providing three dinners for their missionaries. She was a delight to talk to. Tomorrow will be our last and final dinner. It has been a wonderful experience.
