A Tale of Two Christmases

Happy New Year!  Here in Nasir we had a very nice time celebrating Christmas and the New Year. After practicing for many weeks leading up to Christmas, many different churches marched around the town for hours on Christmas singing our traditional songs.  Each church wears special colors and waves flags as we march. This is a special tradition that we enjoy every year.   We also do a drama of the Christmas story and it is very nice. Then on New Years, we also spend time marching around and singing praises to God. Many of the students at the Bible School and others who live in Nasir returned to their villages to spend Christmas with their families there. They are now returning and we began the Bible School again today. We are reviewing all of the stories we learned last year and will soon begin learning new stories together.

I talked to my family in Nebraska before Christmas and they were very happy to receive some gifts from friends in Houston! This small group supports me through Aid Sudan and wanted to give my family a special Christmas. They really liked the gifts that were brought all the way from Houston by a friend of Aid Sudan, Ashley Marble, who delivered the gifts face to face.

Please pray for my family to stay very healthy during the cold winter time in Nebraska.
Please also pray for the Bible School students to remember the stories very well.
