Is there anything more frustrating than getting ready to put up the Christmas tree and realizing that all your lights don't work? When you live in the middle of Sumatra it is enough to drive this type A personality a bit postal. I actually managed to keep it together but over the last three weeks John and I have taken them off and on four times. That is no easy task when you have a 12 foot tree and no ladder. Thank goodness for my Mom! She came to the rescue and sent us four strands of precious lights from the States. Thanks Mom for saving the day! Today we finished up putting the ornaments on and its starting to feel more like Christmas. I can hardly wait to come back from church tonight and sit by the tree and enjoy some hot Chocolate.
Christmas Miracle Update:
We received an update from the shipping company. The Davis shipment is Indonesia. It's about four hours away going through customs. PLEASE pray that God would continue working his Christmas Miracle. We have twelve days until the Christmas Party. Upik, our sewing lady, finished up the bags and we will string them this week. Cookie baking is our next step. It should be a lot of fun baking 600 cookies for the party with our youth group. The kids have been great about helping out.
