It had been pouring the whole week and Friday morning we had to decide about canceling the party or continuing with it; most probably in the rain. The D-team decided: Let’s do it!
Well, the sun didn’t start shining just because we decided in faith to continue with the party! The rain continued to pour down and it ended up quite an eventful day! I decided to play it safe and not drive out to the carepoint on Friday, but then Ncobile (driving the D-team van) had a little collision with one of the AIM vans right in front of the office. Thirty minutes later another driver knocked an electricity pole over across the road from the office! By then I was freaked out and I didn’t want to drive any where! 
By Saturday it was still raining and we loaded in the rain. At the carepoint we put the jumping castle up inside the building and this created some excitement for the kids. They showed up in all kinds of winter wear, (I promise you; it has been colder this past week than what we are use to during our real winter!) but the rain didn’t really stop them. We did have fewer kids than originally expected, but we still had a bunch. The D-team did a great job of keeping them busy inside with games, dancing and competitions. And then when it was time for a really yummy lunch … the rain stopped! We were so thankful! The kids could go outside and enjoy their nice Christmas meal.
Thanks Guys for ALL you do!!!!! Thanks especially for your faithfulness.
Looking forward to your visit!
Lord bless your day.
