Tonight we did something that was totally fun and for Christmas! We went to see David Archuleta's Christmas concert. I am sorry to say, it was the first time I have ever heard his music, but happy to say, I don't think it will be the last. :)
Anyway, Jon came home a couple of weeks ago and told Hailey he had four tickets to the concert and to invite some friends to come. Then last week I got a call from one of my missionaries mother who said, "David is coming to Santa Rosa and he is wondering if some of your investigators would like to go to his concert." Elder McBride grew up with David, he is a close family friend, and he wanted to leave some tickets at will call if we thought anyone could use them. Long story short, President had Elder McBride and his companion, Elder Schulte come to Santa Rosa a day early to escort the investigators to the concert. I tried to pick up the tickets earlier in the day and driving over there I had this yearning to go to the concert myself. So at dinner tonight (we fed them delicious pizza, salad and ice cream pie) I told them I sort of wished I was going too. A few minutes later they got a phone message saying that two of the investigators had bailed. Jon started teasing me that I should go with them (I know he never thought I would) and I got up from the table, threw on a dress and headed for the door.
It was fun! He is really a great person! I know my missionaries were a little uncomfortable to be at a concert on their mission with their Mission President's Wife (actually, that probably made them feel more comfortable about it) but we made a memory together for sure. So, here are too many pictures to document it. Enjoy!
