Christmas Update - Elder Larson

Today is Christmas.  After skyping with Troy and Nathan's family we went to Pete and Alison's for a late breakfast.  Looks like all of the grandchildren were well provided by the jolly ol' elf.  Mom and Dad in each instance made out pretty well also.  It's pretty neat to see the grandchildren excited about their gifts.
We stored some last minute items in the studio apartment, said a final good by to the McKenzies (family living in our house now) and started repacking our suit cases.  We will board Delta flight 4541 tomorrow morning at 5:20am for a non-stop flight to Salt Lake.  We will spend the weekend with Shirley, visit Mother a couple of times and check into the MTC on Monday morning.  The Monson's have invited us to dinner with them on Saturday evening.  Brother Monson has been one of the individuals with whom I have been studying Albanian for the past few months.  They said they would treat us to a typical Albanian dinner.  Brother and Sister Monson served as senior missionaries in Albania about 6 years ago.

Can hardly wait to experience the MTC.  We've heard some wonderful experiences from others who have been there.
