Christmas in Malaysia - RS Dinner

Our first activity of the Christmas Season was having our Relief Society Christmas Dinner. It was so much fun working with Karen McKinley in preparing the food for this activity. We weren't sure how many sisters to expect since only about 25 had RSVP'd. We planned for 30 people. The week before Karen and I settled on a menu and unknown to each other we both made some changes to what we were going to bring so that we what we brought could be easily increased. As I took load after load of food upstairs to Karen's apartment, I kept thinking that we would have food left over for days. Well instead of the 30 we had anticipated,60 people showed up. We were thrilled and had enough food to feed them all. The program was so nice and so many of the sisters were involved in set up, clean up and participating in the program. We had a group that included our two beautiful full-time Sister Missionaries sing a special musical number that really was wonderful. It was such a treat having this program and dinner at Karen McKinley's beautiful and spacious apartment.
