Happy holidays everyone!
Today we gave out sweets at the slum, and it was awesome! The kids were very happy, and very hyper - lots of sugar! We also gave out some biscuits too. (cookies) Andrew, another of the volunteers thought it would be funny to give them candies that were hot chili candies. It was pretty funny to see them stuff them in their mouth and then start freaking out and spitting. One of the girls - Milka even started trying to scrape the spicy candy residue off her tongue. Hahaha They'll never trust us giving them candy again.
Okay, not much else to say, we want to get going so we can wash the smell of the slum off of ourselves.
Oh! there is some new news.... Pastor Antony is moving next week! So, were going from the 3 bedroom apartment that his family and the volunteers live in to... a HOUSE!
That's it for now. Happy holidays. Miss you and Love you all.
Merry Christmas Kate & Kyle. May you be blessed as you serve in the name of Jesus, the One whose birth we commemorate at this time of year.
ReplyDeleteKate- thanks for your detailed and informative letter - I've posted it to our bulletin board at church and will encourage people to read and also get involved in helping with some of the listed projects.
Advent has come - the adventure continues!
In His loving grip,
Pastor Ted & Mary Goossen
