In the last few days, we enjoyed two times of carolling, listening to the Christmas Story and eating lots of goodies with co-workers - which was a special treat as this year it included not only, Jessie, our younger daughter, but many more adult missionary kids, some who now work/ serve in East Africa. We also enjoyed continuing our Traditional/ Untraditional Christmas Eve lunch (grilled steak and a dessert of brownies with ice cream and hot fudge sauce - the dessert usually includes strawberries, which were ready in the fridge, but I forgot to add them this year) with new friends that we want to know better - this year a Journeyman and her guest, another Journey(wo)man from West Africa. 
The highlight of Christmas day was SKYPING with our older two kids, John and Jennifer, and their families. SKYPE is a special gift for missionaries - especially when you can talk with your three year old granddaughter as she unwraps your Christmas gift and proudly shows all the gifts she received earlier that morning!
To be honest, I'm ready to take a break, so I will stop writing and allow you to view a bit of our celebrations - a video of the children of the Good Samaritans Children's Home singing JOY TO THE WORLD in English and in Luo and Kikuyu, two other languages of Kenya's many People Groups, during our worship service last Sunday.
