Christmas time and a new brother

We had a little Christmas party/game night at CBI.  I had already taught the girls how to play Uno, but the boys had never played, so this seemed a good time.

If you will notice in the background, our Christmas tree has absolutely no ornaments or lights.  I told the girls that if they wanted to decorate, then it was up to them.  Guess not!! 

Since it isn't a holiday for them, they don't really get all the decorations.  I just thought it was funny to have a bare tree.



This is Khemrin, Sraynich, Kemchhouy and Phalin.
On the far side is Eliab, one of our new students sitting beside Srouy; then Rich, Bunly and Wejega.
Somnang, Gimson, Jenthra, Srang and Samai.

We had fun, gave a few prizes and small Christmas gifts from us.
On Christmas Eve, the Phnom Penh Church of Christ has a New Years Party.  (I did NOT type that wrong...a New Years party on Christmas Eve).  Again, it is not a holiday for them and since there was a big New Years party in Kampot the following weekend with several congregations around the country, that left tonight since they wanted to do their own.  
Rich and I thought about taking the Christmas holiday for ourselves, but Navy asked me to teach the ladies a 30 minute class on thought for the New Year, so...you can't say no.  
This is my class of ladies.

Christmas this year, as you know, fell on Sunday.  One of the students at the BEST Center decided to put on Christ on that day.

This is the group.

Meet Piset, your new brother.  We rejoice with this new brother.  Please keep him in your prayers; that his faith might grow and remain strong.

Much love,
Ronda
