The Twelve Names of Christ

We had a most excellent talk yesterday from a recently returned very handsome missionary! (aka my son) He said 2 years ago he was in the MTC during Christmas and the apostles came and spoke to them. One of the talks was instead of doing the Twelve Days of Christmas they should compose their 12 Names of Christ and study them out in their scriptures. So he talked about four of his favorite names and I figured I would list some of the names for Christ since there are a bizillion names.

Wonderful, Counselor, the Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, the Bread of life, the Light of the World, the Good Shepherd, the Exemplar, Rock of my Salvation, the Vine, the Creator, the Savior, the Beloved Son, the Firstborn, the Lamb, Holy One, Jehovah, Son, Redeemer, the Word, Deliverer, Mediator, Light, Messiah, Christ

So we had a talk with a challenge.

We Got Him!

Elder Kevan is Home!

His first flight home was cancelled. We went to Portland anyway and spent the day with Ben/Lindsy and the grandchildren. We had fun waiting. We went out to eat, we went to see the Christmas boats in Portland harbor, we climbed on the bird statues in Portland,

We picked Luke up late Saturday evening at the airport.

He looks good. His cheeks are not sunken in, he is healthy, happy and talks to us.

He will be released today at 11:30. He reports to the High council at 4:15pm today. He speaks in Sacrament meeting next Sunday. He is still a Gun Ho missionary.

We are excited to have him here.

He wants to find work and get enrolled at BYU Utah.

He is walking to church today. He is wearing his name tag, (he hasn't been released yet). He is carrying his Columbian scripture cover and a hymnal cover that his Bishop gave him. It is leather with a burnt drawing. He has a bright red, yellow knitted hat from Columbia and he is wearing his heavy coat from High school. (we will get him a new coat)

Aida 2010 costumes

I have been working on costumes for the high school musical this year and have finished them. I always think of just one more thing to do. I turned in my invoice to the school today to get reimbursed, so I must be finished. Here are a few photos of the costumes made. I had a lot of help this year which took off a lot of stress and I think the students liked their costumes. The play is tonight, tomorrow and Saturday. We have tickets for tonight. See anyone you know? I guess I will have to clean the house now... I do have a few quilt projects that are calling my name.
