Our church caroled with the 19th Ward last Sunday. Trent and Evan represented the Munden's there. It was well organized and Trent said it went well.
They had a piano and organ accompaniment and Trent said they sung the songs really slow. Ha! Pretty traditional . . . . . our pastor was allowed to get up and give a message of his choosing. The main point he gave was to not have fear because Christ's gift was free and we can do nothing to earn it. Our youth pastor also did a solo song with his guitar. All and all Trent was pretty impressed by it. At the end the bishop of the ward encouraged his flock to attend our Christmas Eve service--he had gone to it last year and loved it and wanted his people to go to it too!!
We continue to enjoy our church and meet new people each time we go. A couple has invited us over to dinner but we have yet to go because of all the Christmas festivities going on.
And the biggest news . . . . I might have met a friend here in Iona. I discovered another new family had moved into the house across the street at Thanksgiving time (not directly across but kitty korner). They are from Germany, he is a doctor who is currently working as a nurse until he passes the board exam here. The mom stays at home with her four little kiddos!! So, I marched over there with a Christmas card as soon as I learned all this and introduced myself and we have plans to get together once life resumes as normal at our house.
We have several family members coming over this week and next but after New Year's all should be pretty quiet around here and Trent is leaving for a work trip. So, I should have time then to get to know my new neighbors!!
In other news, we are pretty exhausted. Jordyn continues to not sleep at night. At all. She is horrible and we have tried nearly everything to get her to sleep through. So, we'll just keep trying until we are successful. Until then, we are extremely sleep deprived. I'm happy I had enough brain power to even write this much!
Merry Christmas!!
