Marilyn and Josh. Deron went to cub scouts. Josh playing with beads and tells MawMaw (Helen Mae) played tape three times. Rock slide knocked out power. Jason broke glass. One toy per child. Globe and soccer ball. Tape player for Jason. Put together car for Josh. Chris Marz so nice to pick up extra like soccer balls. Lonesome for all her sisters and parents. Hope the kids are satisfied and will get Batik shirts for D.D. Monday, December 6, D.D. says he's there with just Josh and that he works every Saturday. Marilyn had gone to the Felders to visit with Brenda. Marilyn and he miss the good shopping. Shopping is limited over there and have to go to Australia to get anything good. D.D. continues to report on the big rock slide that knocked out power and telephone lines. Wishing everyone a good Christmas back in Boothville. Josh wishes Merry Christmas after he tells 'Da" to stop laughing. Marilyn says the painters came and she got aggravated because they didn't paint it the right color and Jason fusses. Deron just got back from cub scouts while Marilyn asks D.D. to "be quiet to let the kid talk." Deron talks about the scout program and electives and different levels like wolf and bear. Achievement 12 is called Protection. Deron's done 5 so far. He earned his Bobcat badge. Practiced for the Pack Meeting where all the moms come to see. Deron went up to the waterfall and they might go to the Grasberg and keeps talking with his hands. At church Deron gave his testimony for the first time and sang some Christmas songs. He went over to the soccer game played with the Indonesians after his friend Richard's house. For scouts, Richard and he will explain what to do if your clothes catch on fire. Can't wait to go to the second waterfall. Jason came home from girlfriend's house (Betancourts) and he wanted to go home for Christmas. Marilyn gives a list of what they got for kids for Christmas. Mesa McGill helped with getting some of the toys too. She'll also mail the tape from California. Willard McGill's mom died just before they were going back home. Not a shock but still a surprise and sad. Put up tree on Tuesday night and it's "beautiful." Mesa gave ornaments to put on the tree. Last night, they went to the show "The Mechanic" with Charles Bronson. Trish came over and played cards with Deron. Jason haviing a time now that he has a girlfriend and it's her birthday but he's not sure what to get her. He just took a bath then going to bed. Painters are there and probably think she's talking to herself. Josh talks about decorating to MawMaw and asks PawPaw if he's been working. Deron and Jason got the loose bowels. Deron corrects Marilyn on what night it is- Tuesday instead of Wednesday. Got a letter from MawMaw. Don't give Johnny none of the money back and he owes MawMaw and PawPaw still. Yvonne is Jason's girlfriend and he goes to see her everyday. Stan and Peter came over and helped decorate cookies. Marilyn is seven months pregnant. She's gained 16 lbs more than the other three kids. Asked for Michael, Lisa and Sissy's address to send stuff to them. Tells them to just talk over this tape but they didn't (thankfully). Beautiful day. She helped wrap about 600 presents for all the kids in town. Everyone having trouble getting out on the phones. Eat alone as a family for Christmas. She misses Patsy and Blackie. She's wanting to know who's pregnant back home; otherwise, she won't tell any news back to them on baby's birth. Gayle Means says hi to "Miss Adolph." Have to break Marilyn's fingers because she's always writing. Wishes Merry Christmas to everyone.
