A CHRISTMAS TO REMEMBER

  Our Christmas morning was an early wake up to drive even farther into the mountains in Chiapas. 3 hrs later we arrived in a town i can neither pronounce or spell. The team from JOB was already doing their drama and evangelism program to 300 kids. We had to get cooking on the hot dogs.
  The doctors, dentist, and hair cutters were already busy. The team started handing out hot dogs and juice and then the backpacks. You should have seen their faces as they opened their gifts. Probably the only gift they got.
  As we prepared the food bags for the women, I realized we didn't have enough. Phil and I made the hike straight up a steep road to a store and bought what we needed. We took a three wheel taxi back down the hill and the kids at the store followed us to get some toys.
  We drive back to San Cristobol De Las Casa for the night and headed down the mountain to Tuxtla Guitierez. We stopped at a famous canyon boat ride into the canyon. Well worth the 2 hr wait. Today the girls and Matthew went downtown while Phil and I went to the only golf club in town. A member had to guest us and the only connection we had was the guy we bought all the candy from Last week. #divineconnections.
  We fly out early tomorrow morning and should be home by 2pm. Thanks for all the prayers and support for this trip. Buying toys for 2000 kids, and all the food, hotels, air fare, and all the expenses involved,ain't cheep, but God provides.
