Christmas Story by President Monson

There is a really neat Christmas story By Thomas S. Monson on the Home page of www.lds.org
The illustrations inThe Ensign are by Daniel Lewis who lived right here by us and was in our ward when Max and I were dating. He now lives in McCammon. Some of his illustrations have faces of people right here in this little town.
