Okay. So this was our second favorite Christmas photo.
Grandma Judd sent her Christmas Eve pajamas. This year it was matching nightshirts with black leggings. Nice job on the cute factor and fit.

Our branch Christmas party is this saturday. It should be a lot of fun. We have a good strong branch. Upwards of 200 come to church each week.
I got to play with a monkey this week. It is a baby proboscis monkey. One of the members in our branch was at work one day and one of his co-workers saw the mother full grown monkey and shot it so that they could bbq it. When the member saw that the baby was still alive, he bought it off the guy for 20 ringgit, about 6 or 7 US. Now his family is just raising it.











We had a nice chat with Shiloh on Christmas Morning. It was around 9:15 a.m. our time. By the time we were through, it was close to midnight for him. He said it was the latest he had been up his whole mission.
He mentioned a village that previous missionaries hadn't been to yet. He was told they had seen white men before, but only on T.V. He also said the Malaysians like to say "If it's raining here, it's snowing in America".

On Christmas day we ate five meals. On the day after Christmas we ate eight meals. each with at least two servings.
