Christmas in Cameroon - part 2

Christmas has come and gone and we want to share some pictures with you. It was a great celebration, but not without the reality of being so far from special friends and family. We had lots of new, Cameroonian friends over for meals and that really helped to keep our focus here and where it needed to be. I have included pics from the Christmas FES program and one or two from Christmas morning and getting ready for bed on Christmas Eve. We really learned that regardless of where we are geographically, the Christ child was still born and is still worthy of being celebrated. We had to get our eyes off of our own challenges and just remember why we are here and that we have been called to be in Cameroon “for such a time as this.” (Though we are bummed as we are still waiting for 10 Christmas packages from family.)
