Stranger Things on P-day in Lithia, Georgia

Monday is P-day in the Georgia Atlanta Mission. On Monday, December 21st, it was t-shirt weather and a day to do a little adventuring around Douglasville. Sam, his companion Elder Pike, and the other set of missionaries in the apartment, Elder Hinck and Elder Searle, took in two popular tourist sites close by in Lithia, Georgia.

The menu at Tiffany's Kitchen is apparently not fantastic. The restaurant is better as a set for Stranger Things than it is for good food.

Sunday Night Before Christmas, And All Through the House . . .

It's December 20th, a mere five days before Christmas. What do you do on Sunday before Christmas? While Kami and I settled in for an unintended nap, Ashlynn, Max, and Emma delivered our neighbor gifts. This year Kami created a cute nativity in a frame to share with our neighbors. Emma is always the best at helping deliver the gifts.  This year Ashlynn and Max jumped in to help. Thank goodness, because Kami and I intended to help, but we sat down and closed our eyes . . . and fell asleep.  2020 Neighbor Gift The nap didn't last too long. We tried out the Elf board game we got for Christmas last year while snacking on some neighbor gifts (from this year)! Kami promised to show Ashlynn and Emma how to make caramels. Ashlynn helped out this time and clearly, they had a lot of fun.  Stirring the Caramel Pot! While Emma and Max took advantage of the wet show. They shoveled off the back patio and built a snowman complete with his Covid mask and toupee. Emma and Max Building the ...

It was 8:30 in Georgia and Sam was up and dressed in his white shirt, tie, and name tag.  It was Sam's first call home after leaving for Georgia a week earlier. We'd been anxiously waiting for him to call on his preparation day, but we weren't sure what day that was. We found out!  Max and Emma are usually deep-sleepers and getting them up is a challenge. Not on this Monday. As soon as they heard Sam's voice they were in our room ready to chat.  It was great to see Sam. He had lots of stories to tell about his first week in the field. Everything from mounds of meat for dinner at a member's house to knocking on a door of what turned out to be some sort of drug house.  Georgia is like most of the country. Winter has brought more restrictions because of the uptick in Covid outbreaks. Sam's first Sunday was the fi...
