Blessings...

The kids on the plane as we left Sentani (or rather bounced our way into the air) and then me with Ibu Tati.

Some of us are handling the cold better than others....

Christmas day we attended church in the morning and it was lovely to see all the folks again and attend a service in our native tongue. Then we headed home, had some lunch and then went for a walk at Mill Lake Park. It is such a beautiful park to visit. The kids loved the playground as well! Following that we headed out to Yarrow to visit with family. We enjoyed a delicious dinner together with the families of two of my siblings, Henry and Karen and Aunt Mary and Uncle Morris and their kids. So fun to have a Christmas dinner with family! Then we gave the kids their gifts. Excitment! This morning it is very quiet in the house as everyone is playing with their new things.

We are so blessed! There was a group of folks who got our home here set up for us and then provided us with some food. We have a vehicle to use thanks to our good friends C and P. We have been so well taken care of and we want to thank all of you who helped out!
