It has been a whirlwind of a holiday season. The last couple of days I was here at the mission attending several functions and Rob went South to visit some of the churches and pastors down there. I was blessed to be able to hand out gifts to all the orphanage children who live next door. They were so happy. They swarmed Moriah as well and all wanted to see her. One little girl in paticular always is watching me from a far and she came up and gave me a hug which was very sweet. I love the children and hope that in the future I can do more with them.
We also had one of the slum churches come to the mission to celebrate Christmas on Sunday. It was nice for them to have a small field to play games in and a break from slum life. We all shared a meal and rejoiced together. The children had a great time after luch when the monkeys came to visit. The monkeys were playing on the roof of the fellowhip hall and the children were throwing bananas to them. Needless to say I think the monkeys are going to have a belly ache from all of the bananas and the children will have another great memory.
On Christmas Eve we spent some time resting and visiting with mission staff. It was a quiet day gearing up for all the activities of Christmas.
