5 Sleeps until Christmas… Yay :0)
There is great excitement in our house and there are lots of reasons for that. One of them is that we are now in the Christmas holidays. Both Lee and Rachel are very happy to be winding down for Christmas.
Unfortunately Johnny and I are not on a slow down just yet. They very excited that there is no school for 2 weeks and of course the kids are so excited about Christmas day!
This is our first Christmas without family but certainly not without friends as we have made some good friends here. God is so good and abounding in good things and he supplies all our needs. “What a Faithful God have we”…. so we may be without family but it will not be on our own!
Johnny is very busy with Christmas carol services and helping out with other various Christmas events and things that need to be done before the big day! Including shopping for my presents 
Johnny is also involved with Christmas Eve communion service and Christmas day service.
I have been doing the Christmas story with puppets with Charlotte (Charlie’s wife), Angie and Jules. There were 2 more teams of us doing the same thing! We have done a total of 3 primary schools, 1 pre-school and 1 “kidzone”. I think all together we maybe told about 600-700 Children the real reason for Christmas which was great. We also had our last Stepping Stones before Christmas and we had about 45 families there which was great.
We are praying that you all enjoy a peaceful and joyful Christmas and may God bless you all in 2009!
