Caroling in Nasir

Everyone here in Nasir is doing OK. It's a busy season with everyone getting ready to celebrate Christmas.  Here people practice their Christmas songs as they march around the town together because on Christmas that is what everyone will do. We will join together and march around for hours singing our traditional Christmas songs. People are also preparing themselves to do Drama for Christmas where they will act out the Christmas story.  It is a very exciting time.

We have dismissed the Bible School for a Christmas break and will start back again in 3 weeks.

I really hope to get to Ethiopia for Christmas to see relatives I haven't seen in many years, but it will be difficult. SInce this is the dry time of year, I can get there by boat, but when it's time to come back it will be too dry. It is also difficult to get there on land by car.

Please pray with me that God will make a way for me to get to Ethiopia to see them this Christmas.

Please pray also for my wife and 5 children in Nebraska as we will be apart this Christmas.
