Christmas at Nzoundou Chapel!

Yesterday morning (Friday) we had our Christmas service at the Nzoundou Chapel. There were 91 people at the church which was more than normal. We had two pastors with us. One of them gave the Christmas message and the other did a communion service. Normally it is us laypeople who take care of the church so the people were really happy to have Pastors at their Christmas service.

After church we had a Church Dinner. They had not had a dinner together for over ten years. Here are a few photos. First of the little service.



Now for some of the foods: fermented manioc (cassava) root, two kinds of green leafy veggies and rice. We also had chicken wings that are not shown here.







After the adults were given food, the children came up the the food table and I helped serve them. There was plenty of food for everyone present.



Today's Positives:
1. Two SparkFriends came over for brunch. I served an egg casserole and we had a coffee bread that another friend had given us.
2. I had a Christmas meal at 2pm with about 18 other Americans working here at the hospital.
3. Two days of days of Christmas eating are over and my eating will get back on track!

It is 10:30 pm Christmas night and I'm headed to bed. Good night.
