Christmas eve night, we’ll watch one of the Christmas movie classics like Miracle on 34th Street and end the night reading Luke 2 and talking about the real meaning of the season.  Christmas morning we’ll be up early opening presents with Katie, Josh, and Andrew.  They can’t wait!  That afternoon, we’re meeting the Kenneys and Mcbryars for Christmas dinner.

Except for the really hot weather and being far away from family, Christmas in Chile is great!!

The real excitement of Christmas is telling people the about Jesus!!  We’ve seen 10-15 people saved in the past 2 weeks at different Christmas services!  That never gets old!!!

It’s not about our conveniences, nor our families… it’s all about glorifying Him!

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Luke 2:14
