On Christmas Eve President and Sister Martino invited all the couples to the mission home for the evening and to stay over |
We had a wonderful dinner |
Prepared by these two sisters |
There is this beautiful nativity near the mission home that people come to see. We stood by it and sang Christmas carols and passed out cookies |
Sister Tieschner showing the gift she got in our gift exchange |
Sister Woodruff brought these paper hot air balloons that we lit and watched them float away. Hoping and praying we wouldn't cause a fire somewhere!! |
The next morning we went to the government hospital and took gifts to the children's wing |
The hospital was crowded and poor and it could be depressing but we tried to focus on the bit of cheer we could bring to them |
Beautiful babies |
There were about 50 children ranging from new born to teens |
They all had parents with them |
She never let go of her Minnie Mouse |
This one wanted her orange but she was not too sure about us |
The babies didn't know what to think of us but the parents were very appreciative |
This one was scared to death of us. |
She is so cute |
I think she was wondering who these strange white people were. |
I wish I could bring them all home. |
I wish you could bring them all home too! They are so beautiful.
