Hi all! Well, now it seems very close! Any baby yet? I think I put my bet on today (or tomorrow?). Shannon I'd like you to start jogging and drinking castor oil.:) I'm told that brings it on! Our Christmas concert went well, on Thursday, Dec. 15. We had a scare! One gr. 5 boy came down off the third row of the risers and came stumbling off the front of the stage. He fainted! He was O.K. in minutes, but the whole audience (600) gasped. Then, yesterday we had some friends over for a Christmas party - Al's old crowd - Randol, Holly, Linda, Neil, Danny and Irene. It was fun! Our visas came! Yay!

O.K. I need to hear from you. We are packing today. I am bringing a few things for homeschooling, as Shannon asked (grammar gr.6). But our resource teacher also has some math books gr. 3, and gr. 6 for homeschooling - she has used them in the past and given them to other missionaries. She would give you a deal on them, if you want them. They are $20 each. It is called, "Jump At Home" by John Mighton. Does this sound familiar? Do you need these?

Let me know ASAP. I called Liz, mom, so we will get that from her. She was glad you had got there safe. She tried e-mailing you but couldn't get through.

I'm running over to my neighbors today with a tin of peanut brittle I made for each. Just call me Frances, I know. (Mom, that's a compliment!) Love, Brenda
