My Last Christmas!

This has been my Last Christmas in Africa!! On Saturday evening we had a Christmas Hymn sing at the O'Connor's home. (photo to left)










On Sunday was my last Christmas church service at Kanda Alliance Church. (Photo to right)

Christmas Eve I went down to Bongolo Church to watch some of the Christmas program which is always like a Variety Show with many songs, skits, choreographed dances, etc. 

Christmas morning Deborah Walker and I had breakfast together. I made an egg casserole and a coffee cake.

We then opened the gifts we had under the Christmas tree.

In the afternoon we had a Turkey meal with other Americans and one Canadian who work here at the Hospital.

There was also a Bible reading and the lighting of the last Advent Candle.

I have had a very nice last Christmas in Africa. By Christmas 2014 I plan to be living in the States and getting ready for Speaking Tour in January. Then then in the Summer of 2015 when I turn age 66 I plan to "Retire" or refocus on another ministry, yet to be determined.

Surprise Christmas Luncheon!

This noon we had a Surprise Christmas luncheon for our Nursing Students. Normally on Fridays we divide the students into three small groups for Bible studies. But today we had a surprise luncheon with them and then a Christmas devotional study all together . Everyone was surprised. It was fun. Tomorrow half of them leave for a week long vacation. The following week the other half will have vacation.

Here a few photos from today.







Today's Positives:
1. It was fun surprising the Nursing Students with lunch together.
2. I showed a movie on the Life of Christ (Jesus film) at the Maternity this afternoon. There were four people who prayed to the Lord wanting to start following JESUS, starting today.
3. It's FRIDAY!!

Let it SNOW!

Well, here on the equator it does not snow. This is my last winter without snow before I move to Nebraska and winters full of snow. Someone asked my why I plan to retire in snow territory. Well, I've been living away from my family for 40 years. Now I plan to retire near family. That won't be for another year so for now, Let it snow in other areas. I'll keep enjoying snow free living!!!!!!

Today's Positives:
1. I LIKE living where there is no snow!!
2. I'm still on Staycation/vacation. I enjoyed some Christmas and grocery shopping in town.
3. I am now watching, "It's a Wonderful Live" on dvd.

Let is snow..... far away from me!!
