MTC

Vanessa has arrived at the MTC and settled in.She has a companion- confusingly called Sister Lai, who is also going to the Taiwan Mission, and she has joined the choir. Beginners' Mandarin is beckoning and no doubt she will soon be more Chinese than her Dad!
Fiona Lau- Vanessa's Mum.

A Cragun Christmas

In short, I spent this Christmas with the whole Cragun family in Minnesota and it was amazing :D
After a very last minute decision and after clearing it with the parents (who later kind of wanted to back track on their decision....but it was too late) I got on a plane and flew to Minnesota!
Once I had settled in and officially met all members of the family the real Christmas activities began....bell ringing for the Salvation Army (so much fun!), eating delicious food, building a 10 foot snowman (a lot harder than you initially think), going out for a date night, wearing layers and layers of clothing, building jigsaws, watching Avatar (in 3D, of course), cross country skiing, eagerly anticipating the result of Christian's face lump removal, shopping in The Mall of America, riding a Spongebob roller coaster, stuffing myself with a huge burger, watching Nate stuff himself with close to 1lb of food, tons of yummy Christmas cookies and treats (homemade by Nate's mum), playing many many board/card games with everyone (and getting beaten...I need to get my game skills up), and celebrating Nate's birthday!! Needless to say everybody was incredibly welcoming and made me feel as though I was right at home. Thank you, it really was perfect :)







It really was a wonderful trip and I'm so glad I got to spend time with Nate and his family. I loved getting to know everyone a little bit better :)
I hope you all had as wonderful of a Christmas as I did. Happy new year!
