We spent Christmas sweating profusely, eating tacos with friends, unwrapping a few gifts (some sent from far away-thanks!), sharing sweets with friends, and celebrating with some other Wazungu we know here. We love Jesus and we are grateful God saw fit to send Him to this broken world to restore, offer joy and hope, and to show us what love is.

Here is some of our Christmas this year…
