Last night Sister Maria Rosinkarsdóttir invited the Elders in Reykjavík to enjoy dinner with her and her grand-daughter and to then present a Christmas program using the Book of Mormon and Bible to tell the Christmas story along with Christmas carols for her daughter's family and then her son's family. We are not sure if the Elders extended the invitation to us because they needed Sister Bremner's voice (it was an absolute necessity with this group of singers) or because Sister Maria invited us for Sister Bremner's voice. Sister Maria speaks no English so we do not know the whole story. Another surprise was I was asked to say the blessing on the food and also the prayers at each of the homes (which of course had to be in English as my Icelandic prayers are very limited). Sister Maria (the only member of the Church in her family) is the sweetest lady who is trying to help her family feel the Spirit and joy she has found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The meal was a feast which the Elders thoroughly enjoyed. We did too as it was very delicious with great variety.
