Christmas Miracles...

Wow...what an amazing Christmas season this has been! We've had a few parties and are having one more this weekend, then on Christmas Eve our teacher wants us to share with her and a few others the good news about this holiday!!!


Last weekend our classmates came over, and after sharing the Christmas story and my own story with them, I found out some exciting news! My classmate, LH, who's Dad has been really sick with cancer, had a visitor come to his hospital room last week. That visitor shared some very good news with her dad and he trusted in that message just a few days ago!!! :) I still can't believe it!!! This past Thursday night her dad passed away, to never be apart from his Maker again! But please lift up LH and her boyfriend with me, as her heart is grieving. She will not be able to return to her home country, and she is so heartbroken! May she find the peace and comfort that only the gift we celebrate at Christmas can bring!!!


These last 2 pics are just for kicks:

(Above) Joy and I piled up 25 deep in our classmates living room last week to have a taste of their home country and celebrate one of their birthdays...memories! (Below) Somehow our lil freezer iced over and we couldn't open most of the drawers...so we got out the hairdryer and a couple of knives, and the ice was gone in no time. :)

THANKS GIVING!!!

So sorry I forgot to share these pics until now! But Thanksgiving was SO great! I had the opportunity to travel and visit some sweet friends of mine! In the first city I went to, the girls and I got to reunite with a precious family that used to live in our city. Thanksgiving Eve was "performance night"...so the girls and I coregraphed a special dance for them!
Thanksgiving Day we had a delicious feast...big thanks to our mommies for the special ingredients yall sent!!!
We had a wonderful time giving thanks to our Father...
not only for the grub ;), but for each other, the opportunity to live here, and for his unceasing goodness!!!
In the next city, I got to enjoy BEAUTIFUL scenery, and visit some DEAR (and also beautiful)friends!!!



The Maker has done great things for us,
and we are FILLED with JOY!!! -ps126.3
