Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year everybody! As the fireworks go off in the background and everyone gets ready to celebrate, I pray that God blesses you immensely in the year to come. For now, here's the song that everyone is listening to here in Caracas.

Well,,,

It's been a while since I've written anything. So, guess I should say something. Um.

Yep.

Lots going on with Christmas coming up. A lot of folks have set up their mangers. Sometimes the mangers can take up a significant portion of the room; they are quite the works of art. Not yet present in the manger is baby Jesus seeing as He hasn't been born yet. At midnight on Christmas Eve, they'll put Him in there and keep Him around till the sixth of December.

I've been trying to learn some local Christmas songs for a play some of the kids from a nearby barrio are putting on with the help of teammate KT and a local woman who is part of another order. The songs here are usually sung by little kids (at least on the CD's) but I'm not finding it too obnoxious so far. Maybe we can throw up a video of the play coming up this monday.

Other than that, it's really cold. I'm actually having to heat up water for showering for the first time ever. Also, lots of preparations for Christmas! Including...Visa applications!!!! YAY! This seriously needs a lot of prayer, so if you have a second, I would really appreciate prayer that this third application doesn't get rejected.

Alright, that's it for now. Merry Christmas and to all good night!
