Christmas in Del Valle

What an incredible Christmas we had.  This Christmas Eve was really special for us as it was our first Christmas with our Mexican friends.  We hardly knew anyone last year.  But this year we had the largest number of people attend La Conexion to date; 36 people attended.  We had an amazing time singing, celebrating advent and Nathan gave a message about the peace of Jesus that lasts versus the peace of "Christmas Eve, that fades."  Our friends really enjoyed themselves and many talked about how much they had had a good time.  After the service we had a meal together where we at turkey, Bacalao (a type of fish..dried cod) and other Mexican food.


The next day we had a turkey dinner with the International worker team.  Some of them were missing, visiting Canada, but we still managed to have a good time, and Carmela finally got to eat a turkey leg.  She had been asking for the last 3 turkey meals, if she could eat a leg....finally her turn came.
