Christmas In Guatemala

As you all know Christmas is fast approaching.  We are trying to utilize Christmas here in Guatemala as a time to minister and show the love of Jesus.  We are doing a couple of things here to do that.

The first thing that we are doing is by sharing with our friends and neighbors here and allowing them to have a Christmas through our Adopt a family for Christmas. 

We are also doing a Christmas lunch for about 75 kids here.  Many of the kids here will not have any sort of celebration or special food for Christmas.  So with the help of our ministry partners, Carlos & Thelma and Indy Metro Church we are going to be able to provide a special Christmas Guatemalan lunch to many kids.

We are learning more about how Christmas is celebrated here.  One of the things we are looking forward to is a lot of fireworks at midnight on Christmas Eve.  From our roof we can see Guatemala City and from what we are told it will be an amazing view on Christmas Night.  Another family tradition of ours is looking at Christmas lights so hopefully we can drive around and find some good lights here.

We also have a Love Guatemala Team Christmas Party planned for this month.  Lots of fun things happening!  We are so excited to celebrate with all our friends here.  But we will also miss being able to celebrate with all our family and friends back home. Merry Christmas!
