Kids and adults members of La Carlota first branch of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had their Christmas party tonight at the Church meetinghouse in La Carlota City, Negros Occidental.
Most of the indigent family members of the Church were invited and all of them were given gifts donated by generous members of the Church.
Everybody didn't go home empty-handed. Everyone received a gift.
(Last Sunday, the Church had already dispatched several sack-load of used clothes to the Church members who were also affected by typhoon Sendong in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan City through the Bacolod Philippines Mission.)
Member Couples, youths actively participated in the parlor games. And the full-time lady missionaries did their share too in some of the games.
A hearty dinner of arroz a la valenciana, spaghetti, salad, pork barbecue
and a soft drink was served to every participant.
Christmas is not only gift-giving, but the intention of giving gift, that is, love - the very essence of Christmas.
