Christmas Morning




Christmas morning at Thorpes








Hands down best Christmas gift was talking with Elder Thorpe for over 2 hours on Google Hangout!!  He spoke and prayed with us in Spanish.  He is happy and loving his companion and area of Rio Zarco.  It was so great to see him and hear his voice!!  We had a VERY Merry Christmas!
