Team Christmas Party



Last night we celebrated Christmas with our SEND team and two other missionary families. There were 35 of us crammed into the Kerin's living room (14 people aren't pictured). It was cozy and busy and fun. We ate lots of yummy appetizers and cookies and candies, sang Christmas carols, heard a devotional on Christmas from Michael, and opened presents. We did the kind of gift exchange where you draw numbers and pick gifts out of a pile or steal them from others. It's always fun to see what the "hot items" are. The things people want when living in Siberia are much different than what you would want while living in the States. Examples are: Hershey's syrup, mapeline, good Christmas music. We are blessed by our teammates!

That looks like so much fun! I can't believe you had to walk in -34!! That sounds so miserable. The coldest it has been here was -8 and that was enough to make me scurry back inside. I can't imagine what that feels like there with the wind chill there. Brr!
