Just like on Temple Square in Salt Lake the Temple bock here in Mexico City is adorned in lights and something that they don't have in Salt Lake....thousands of Noche Buena or Poinsettias planted in the beds. They are beautiful and are every where. The grounds people here do a wonderful job and are always working to make the flowers and trees look their best.
Here are a few photos of the grounds...they are really pretty. It seems so strange to see poinsettias outside and Palm tress with lights and "icicles"!
We saw these two little girls and couldn't help but take their picture! They were bundled up with warm clothes since it was cold out side ( about 55degrees!)
What would Christmas time be without cookies! We had 3 Elders over the other day on their P Day to make cookies. They made chocolate chip, a no bake chocolate cookie and snickerdoodles.
Elders Tribett, Dillon, and Sanchez
The two assistants had birthdays this past week...so Marilyn made a cake for them to share...I think their faces tell the story!
Elder Norman from Washington State and Elder Matos from the Dominican Republic. 
Like every month we say goodbye to some of our missionaries and welcome new ones! It is an exciting time filled with happiness and sadness and the same time. We do get close to these missionaries and wish then the best as they return home. Some of them are the only members of the church in their families and returning home has some challenges for them.
We have been here almost 11 months now and see the changes that have come over those missionaries that we welcomed here right after we got here. What a change in them. We look at the new missionaries and see expressions that run from excitement to WOW...this is really different from home!
Love the sunrises here!
