Duane & Verba Cross spent the week here and helped us tremendously!
We also found time to go to the airport on Monday. Clarissa Orendorf came from Grantsville, Maryland. She will be joining our team as an auntie for a few months.
After dinner the children sang, then our friend Brian Burke led us in some Christmas carols.
We took some pictures on Thursday before Aunties night out.
For every one good picture, there are twenty duds.
Carrie & I enjoyed a date night on Friday evening. Tammie graciously consented to watch the girls. We also spent several evenings decorating our house for Christmas. Everything looks cheery and festive. The only thing missing is snow. Actually, it has been rainy and chilly the last several days. We have been wearing sweatshirts and sitting around in blankets in the mornings and evenings. The temperature is still 75ยบ but when the sun doesn't shine, it feels cool.
Saturday afternoon we joined Duane & Verba, Brittany & Brielle (daughter & grandaughter) and went to Mt. Pelier. It was enjoyable to hear them speak in Patwa and visit with old friends. We stopped in Hopewell at a little "hole in the wall" food joint for some fried chicken.
They came over to our house afterwards to visit and do some singing. We really enjoyed having them around. They were such an encouragement to us!
It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas in town too!
Funny pictures of the week: Pickup trucks are so unnecessary!
Keep us in your prayers as we celebrate Jesus's birthday here in Jamaica. All of us would like to be with family, but this will be a special Christmas with our JRM family.
Thank you for your prayers and finances you have shared on our behalf! We really appreciate the support you give! It is reassuring to know that we are not alone.
May God bless you in this Christmas season!
the Stutzmans
