President Petersen and the 4 Elders got a real treat today, for them. Brother Reyes arranged for them to take an airplane ride around El Salvador with a one-eyed pilot. It was a small plane, with room for the 5 of them with the pilot, Carlos. I willingly gave up my seat!!

These 5 boys came home with smiles like it was Christmas morning. They had a great time and are sad to be grounded again. Each one of them took about 60 pictures and Elder Kitley even took videos so we will have lots of pictures to show you all upon our return.
We had a busy week in the temple, with at least one bus daily and usually two or three. It was great to be so busy. December is the month for weddings here, like June is in the States. It is so fun to see the little families sealed for time and eternity. We have had 3 or 4 daily since the first of December.
We are busy learning Christmas music for our devotionals. It is always great to be able to enjoy the Christmas music, even in Spanish. Our grandson, Nathan, has the exact days, time, minutes till Christmas. But for us it is just about two weeks away and then we won't hear these great songs again for a year. We are looking forward to sharing the holiday with our mission family and Skyping our family at home also.
May you each have a very Merry Christmas, with lots of love and charity for all. Enjoy every minute because it will be gone way too soon. We love you and thank you for your prayers in our behalf. We think of you often and look forward to spending next Christmas with many of you. Love Lon and Nancy, Dad and Mom, Grandpa and Grandma
