Merry Christmas From Laos!


Merry Christmas!

We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! Ours was unique...one we'll always remember.
There was none of the hustle and bustle we're accustomed to in America. We woke up and everyone around us did everything as usual....the adults were going to work, the children were going to school, nothing seemed special about the day. It was a little disappointing, but at the same time it was refreshing because it reminded us that Christmas isn't about all the warm fuzzies, it's about reflecting on and rejoicing in our Savior.

 We did get to enjoy some of our traditions from the States:


we decorated a tiny Christmas tree,



 made lots of yummy candies,




gave gifts to friends,



ate lots of good food,

.
and even got to sing Christmas songs in front of a lot of people!
