“May the celebration of Christmas cause us to rejoice like the angels… hear like the shepherds… follow like the wise men!” Roy Lessin
We are excited to celebrate Christmas once again! It is such a fun time of year – to relax with family, enjoy good food and celebrate the birth of our Savior! We were able to have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Our main substitution was eating chicken instead of turkey. We will probably do the same for Christmas dinner. Even a chicken is a treat since the price is about $14 for a whole chicken.
We have our presents wrapped, our Christmas tree decorated and lights up! As a result of having weak batteries and having to run the generator more in the evening – we can have our Christmas lights on more! So, there are advantages to running a generator.
Chris and Erin Lujan are in our tribe right now checking the progress on culture and language learning for Aimee and the Carltons. They are just making sure they are making progress and on the right track. They are also available to answer any questions they have about how to make the best use of their time each day.
Ned is working hard on checking the book of Acts, Jonah and Old Testament portions of Scripture for the Mengen and Lusi tribes. He will be helping with a translation workshop and traveling into these other tribes for the month of January. We are hoping he can finish before Christmas so we can have a week of family time before the marathon month of January begins.
Have a VERY MERRY CHRIST-MAS!! Never forget Jesus is the reason for the season!!
