Merry Christmas

At the staff Christmas party, We are well entertained by our three Mission drivers, Roger, Jean(John), Marcellin and Elder Bennett, a native Tahitian and newly arrived senior missionary. These people really know how to party.

President and Sister Donnelly, with Elders Mahina and Gorringe who are now departing for home at the conclusion of their missions. The Donnellys are from South Africa and arrived here in July. Elder Gorringe is the step-grandson of my cousin, Jay Harmer. Elder Mahina will be on the gridiron for BYU next year.

Elder and Sister Bennett, our new senior couple missionaries. They arrived here in October and are living in Antsirabe, a nice town about three hours drive south of Tana. They are warm, wonderful Tahitians.
