Feliz Navidad! Happy Birthday Jesus!


Merry Christmas to all from Guatemala! As we type this it is 2am, and there are still fireworks sounding in the distance. Tradition here is a bit different, they celebrate at midnight, much like on New Year's Eve. It was amazing! The fireworks started at least an hour before this video, and lasted constantly until 12:15. Now we understand why Joy's student who went on furlough just before Christmas was so upset about not being here for this. Who needs snow???
Hope you have a blessed day!

Now it is 7am, and the girls are already up. How is this possible? They were up to 1 am. It's going to be a long day. But our favorite quote of the day so far is by Abigail: (During stocking opening) "Oh, yes, I've always wanted one of these....what is it?

Merry Christmas!
