As we anticipate the birth of our Lord Jesus it has been quite different for us here in Uganda. There are not many things that remind us of Christmas. The hot temperatures and the scorching sun definitely don't help but Soroti also does not have many decorations around town. As Rachel and I have pondered about spending our first Christmas with Nico, we felt that he definitely needed at least some Christmas traditions. Yesterday afternoon, before we had a Christmas party for some street children, we rode our bicycles to town for a family outing picking up a Christmas tree. Nico loves looking at it and of course, grabbing it and trying to pull the lights and 'ornaments' off of it!
We look forward to celebrating Christmas with our Team. Even though we are away from our families, we love getting together with our 'family' here in Soroti. We are blessed and continually stand amazed that our Savior and King came to this earth as a babe! O Come Let Us Adore Him...
