Mission Christmas Devotional

Our annual Mission Christmas Devotional was held Dec 15. Every missionary was there from all over the mission. We started early in the afternoon with a talent show. Missionaries volunteered to perform
fun or religious numbers and we had a wonderful variety.
The JAX West Stake prepared a delicious meal for all the missionaries as their gift to us.
Thank you so much.
We ended the night with a devotional. We all felt the spirit as we talked of Christ, preached of Christ and rejoiced in his birth.
As an ending to the night each missionary received a Christmas bag of gifts prepared by the wards and stakes in the mission. Every ward made a gift for every missionary in their stake. It was a touching moment as we realized the time and love represented in each bag. Thank you dear members of the church in the Florida Jacksonville Mission.


I wish the picture was bigger so you could see 'your' missionary.  I also wish I could put everyone's name on the caption but space won't allow.  We love them all!!
