"Y'know Santa..." Elder Rivers said "This'll be the first Christmas I spend away from home and without my family..." The Mormon sighed, walking slowly with his head down as he traced the sides of the snow mobiles with his fingers.

Walking into the craft store, Elder Rivers took a piece of nylon string, tying it to the keys of each of the snow mobiles in such a way that if he tugged on it, they would all turn on. The handle was a plastic jump rope handle glued to the string. Finished, Elder Rivers opened the back seat door of the SUV and stashed his moped all the way to the end. He then reached into his fanny pack to take out a bible. He opened up to a page and began reciting lines and prayers, apparently to the SUV as well as the snow mobiles. It was the first time Elder Rivers had ever done such a thing, though he had been taught to.

Finally done christening Santa's new sleigh, Elder Rivers got onto the front most snow mobile. "Get in" he told Santa, gripping tight onto the string.
