- Assist in arranging a huge food hamper to be dropped off for a very needy family
- Assist in transporting a load of goodies to the mission for a kid's concert at 2:00
- Help run the concert (the awesome youth are doing a puppet skit... I'll be sure to tape it for you)
- Help clean up, then set up for the church service at 5:00.
- Pick up a family with a wheel-chair bound son using the mission's van (otherwise they simply cannot physically make it to the mission)
- Be Maria (Mary) and Jose (Joseph) in the Nativity story (I thought we would do better as white sheep, but nominations are nominations)
- Drive the family, mentioned above, home
- Catch the bus back to our place and join the neighbors (our Costa Rica family) in celebration of Freedom, with great food, singing, and dancing.
- Take part in the gift exchange (we drew names last week). But this cannot be done until after midnight!
- Be in our houses soon after, for tonight is the most dangerous night for having your house broken into.

Tammy! Thanks for sharing. So nice to hear about what's going on in Canada.
Thank you JAT and Tiff, too! So encouraging to get comments.
Great to read you blogs and keep abreast of some of your happenings. Dave just said - Wonder what they do in their "spare time" Ha! Ha! - don't think you have any.
Keep praying for you both that God would guide you and minister to you in ways that only He can. Pray His plans and purposes for you on this mission would be accomplished.
Love you. Jane and Dave
Sounds like a busy Christmas schedule. My thoughts are very often with you - how could I ever forget the awesome time with you! We have Manuela and Tanja with their family here and they all enjoyed the pics and stories. With love, Bob
