~Melanie and Kimberly teaching S.S. and Our "Christmas Dinner in June"~

~The Lord really helped Melanie as she taught the Sunday school kids.  She used the flannel graph that was given as a gift to our church.   Before she came to Colombia she had found some fun fish crafts on sale at Hobby Lobby and had purchased them...knowing she might teach S.S. here.  When she was asked to teach the story of Jonah...She knew that the fish that she had found on sale back in the USA would be the perfect craft for that lesson.  Isn't that neat how Jesus "coordinated" everything?! =)  Kimberly was her assistant.~

~After church Noah and a VERY FRIGHTENED Elijah sitting on Sis. Farly's brother's motorcycle. (Elijah was exhausted but was also SCARED that the loud motorcycle might start up and go off with them. =)~

~We invited Bro. Jimmy, Sis. Farly, and their 2 daughters, and another couple over for Sunday dinner.  Here Natalie, and Kimberly are helping get ready to eat.~

~Us ladies working in my kitchen...From L to R: (Me) Heather, Sis. Farly, Gloria, and Melanie.~

~A few months back Bro. Jimmy had told us how he WISHED we could spend Christmas here in Colombia with them.  We did spend Christmas 2007 and 2008 here, but then we spent the last 2 Christmases in the USA and it looks like this coming one will be spent in Argentina, Lord willing.  So, they were surprised when they arrived to find that...I had decided to set the table with my Christmas China, play Spanish Christmas music, and have a "Christmas dinner in June" so that we could "celebrate Christmas together." =)  Here's a place setting on our table.  I bought each person a choc. candy bar to put by their place card.~

~Everyone visiting in our living room.~
