It’s an African Christmas

We got the decorations and the lights in place, the Christmas tree up, and the stockings hanging by the chimney with care. It’s actually gotten pretty cold here too, so all you need to do is imagine that all the brown dust and sand outside is snow and it’ll be like home.

K so it’s not exactly the typical picture of Christmas, but I’m glad the reason for Christmas is all the same no matter where we are and for everyone to celebrate. If only people here knew and believed in The Reason.

"I bring you the most joyful news ever announced, and it’s for everyone! The Savior – yes, the Messiah, the Lord, has been born tonight in Bethlehem… Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth…”

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love you all!! Missing all those I can’t be with this Christmas, (so umm maybe you could consider visiting me here next year…)

God Bless!!!!!!

oh and

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
