The Christmas pageant was a great success. Many people worked very hard to make it all happen. There was a large crowd and some kids started arriving as early as 4:30 for a show that started at 6 pm. The teenagers who were in the play did a pretty good job with the acting and the singing was beautiful. Ariane did a gymnastics routine which inspired awe! She even had the whole crowd chanting her name afterwards. Mariah had a chance to dance and Josiah helped to MC. All of the children got a sack of candy and balloons and the kids in the program and all of the employees and families got a meal of rice and beans, chicken and watercress salad. It was a ton of work and there will be lots of clean up tomorrow in the field and putting the benches back at the school etc, but it seemed like everyone had a great time.

I'm up early tomorrow to drive to Lachapelle and hike a mountain with Mariah and her biological father, so it's time to get some rest.

Wow! I am impressed. Once you have been there and know just how much work everything is can you appreciate all the work that went into this. You are all to be commended...I know you did it for the Lord and not for any other reason and I pray He will bless you all. I am sure He will use what you did to bear much fruit for that is what He calls us to do. I am proud of you all.
Have a great hike up the mountain and back and rest on Christmas Day! You will all need it!
Love to everyone.

Hello
I have tried for a week to call Madame Karen but no luck. I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and may God richly bless you. I heard part of Karen's interview on CBC this morning after the power came back on. It was excellent. We are just back from the Christmas Eve service and another rain/wind storm on the way. Still lots of people without power for Christmas.
Have a great day in Jesus. Dickie
