Things of Navidad

I am so excited about the Christmas Pageant in Mogote. Amber has written a script in Spanish, found a Christmas CD to teach the kids some songs to sing in the pageant (Christmas Carrols are not common knowledge down here) and found some costumes buried in the bodega. This week we bought some fabric to make a curtain to go acorss the front of the stage in the church, and also some angel costumes. We started to teach the kids the songs we plan on singing in bible class and showed them a costume. All 56 kids in class were super excited. I am too. It should be really fun. William is working on a manger and making some kind of support for us to hang the curtain on from the rafters. December 20 is the big day. I can´t wait.


Ice skating in Honduras? Yes.

So one night we were at the mall buying groceries at Hiper. We saw a large crowd of people gathered around watching something. We got closer and realized they had build an ice skating rink in the middle of the mall!! Now, you may ask, isn´t it warm there, and the mall is open air right? These were our question exactly but with further investigation (Will touched it) we dicovered that this was not ice that the people were skating on, it was just really slippery plastic they were skating on with ice skates. Sometimes I just smile and say, oh Honduras, I love you.

The ice skating thing is too funny!

You have to take a ton of pictures of the musical. Jennah got a solo and a duet in our churches Christmas musical. Wish you guys could see it. I will post a video.

We will miss you guys on Thanksgiving. Hope you have a wonderful one of your own. Heard you're getting a dog! That's fun, but if we knew you were in the market for one we could have shipped Molly to you. She's travel size, fitting well inside or underneath your favorite car or truck. Think about it. Love y'all.
Chris and Annie
