Yesterday, we had the opportunity to host Jason Wright, author of
Christmas Jars, Christmas Jars Reunion, The Wednesday Letters, Recovering Charles, and
Penny's Christmas Jar Miracle, for dinner and then a fireside for youth and adults in our stake. Seriously, we haven't had that much fun in a long,
LONG, LONG, time!! Mal, (Tom had to work), Zack, Kenzi, Maddi, Bob, Jason, and I had burritos for dinner and then headed down to the "New" Stake Center. We were a little wary of how many people would show up--you never know at things like this--however, we were VERY pleasantly surprised to see a full chapel, overflow, and then half way back the cultural hall!! People kept coming even until about 15 minutes before it ended! Jason did a FABULOUS job, had the people eating out of the palm of his hand. It was AMAZING!!Afterward, we came back to the house and had dessert (Raspberry Pretzel Delight) and I had him sign some books. We talked and talked some more and laughed so hard our sides hurt! It was amazing how quickly Jason fit into our family and how well everyone welcomed him (at times, it was kinda embarrassing!! :D ).
We had a fabulous time, learned much more about the amazing story of
Christmas Jars and recommitted to filling our own jars. It was GREAT!!
