First Christmas in RSA


Well, we were away from home for the first time ever during Christmas.  We missed being with our family, but had a wonderful day.  We began the day by Skyping, Yaya and Poppy and Mammy.  We had to get the girls up at 6 am to do this and our folks in the states had to stay up until just about midnight to see Isabel and Kylie open their presents.  Isn't the internet wonderful.  After the excitement of the morning I had the opportunity to preach at Snake Park.  Although many were not their it was a joy to share the gospel on Christmas day.  Which is what it is all about, right?  Well, I loved it!  That afternoon our team and friends came over for lunch.  It was great, and very close to mom's cooking.  Frank's turkey was excellent and could only be topped by mom's, but everyone knows that.  We had a great afternoon of eating and fellowship and finished up with an intense round of White Elephant gift exchange.  So, first Christmas in RSA, a little warm, but not too bad.  Anyway, Merry Christmas and a happy Boxing Day to you all!
