This has been such a crazy busy week. It started on Sunday when they called Rich to be on the High Council. We went to the church for him to be set apart and it was nice to have my parents there with us. On Tuesday we had Enrichment Night for Relief Society. It was a nice dinner and program, the theme was "Believe." On Thursday night I helped the activities committee make 125 caramel popcorn balls for Santa to give out at our Christmas party today. Then last night we had our first High Council dinner and white elephant exchange. The dinner was delicious and we laughed and laughed at some of the gifts people brought. Then finally this morning we had our Ward Christmas Party. We had a nice breakfast with muffins, donuts, bagels, bacon, egg casserole, oranges, bananas and just about everything else you could imagine. I continue to be amazed at the talent we have in our ward. It is wonderful how everyone works so well together to make things nice and to make sure we know what this season is all about. After the party everyone pitched in and helped clean up, I'm sure the committee is so tired. They have been working on this activity for months. I wonder how people live without the gospel. At times I feel so overwhelmed with what is asked of us to be a member of this church, but the blessings we receive from serving far out way the time we spend in service. We struggle with our feelings of sadness with another Christmas without Kamber, again I wonder how families deal with the death of child without the knowledge that we will see her again. I know there are families that are going through hard times and we pray for them. We know by experience that life can change in the "blink of an eye", hopefully our testimonies will continue to grow as we love and serve those around us.

Brother & Sister Larsen!
We think of you often and were so sad to hear from the Gibsons about the loss of your sweet Kamber. We keep you in our prayers regularly.
