It was hard to say goodbye to Anthea Thursday afternoon when she left Dominica to return home to Brooklyn.
This is the day Terry was HAPPY--the day he played with Lucky, the day he ate meringue cookies!

Friday at Acme Garage Karam Limited in downtown Roseau the Church's new Ford Ranger was waiting for it's new owner. This is where the Santa Fe will reside until someone can afford to buy it.
Peter Karam handed the keys to Elder Hadlock after having cautioned him about the width of the truck's side mirrors. 
The truck is now home, 42 Steber Street, Pottersville, where only yesterday the gutters were cleared of vegetation by a man with a machette. All vehicles should have a name. What do you think this one should be? 
You may think it's only a Charlie Brown tree but "WOW" was Terry's comment after he touched the ornaments and blew gold glitter from his fingers. 
Two old missionaries had to 'stoop pretty low' in order for Peter to take their picture by the tree without cutting off their heads. This is most likely the first picture he's ever taken. 
But he is abundantly happy to send his Christmas greetings along with ours! 
. . . so it will be nice for a little Christmas lunch following Sacrament Meeting. Marcus plans to cut his hair and shave for Christmas.
