Thank you to all of you prayed for me after my accident and for the Christmas party this weekend and thank you for all the encouraging messages we received! My body is still sore, but I have no visible bruises (praise God!!!) and I am feeling much better! And the Christmas party went really well! We have seen and experienced God's faithfulness and goodness continuously throughout this weekend!

We had lots of help leading up to the party and by early Friday afternoon we had everything ready! The AIM Real Life team helped by packing gift and candy bags and they also decorated cakes ... a lot of cakes that my poor mom baked! (Yes, we even have my mom here this year helping!) The team and my mom are a huge blessing to me. We also had a team from a South African church that came to help us. They decorated the inside of the building and they even put up a Christmas tree! It was the first time we had a Christmas tree! It was so fun.

The kids arrived with much excitement on Saturday. For a lot of them it was their first time to see the huge playground and they immediately ran to it and started playing. It was more than satisfying hearing the laughter of kids playing and running around. Lunch was of course another big favorite and the kids enjoyed their big plates of food. After lunch they received their gifts, candy and cake! It was awesome to see their little faces.

Everything went so well and so smooth and there was no chaos at all!!!! We thank God for this!!!!
