On Tuesday, Dec. 1, I (Barbara) had the opportunity to go to a local school and share the History of Christmas with a group of 3rd graders. They were a very good group of students and were anxious to take part in the story. One child passed out the pieces of the Nativity Set and each child held up their piece when I mentioned it in the story. Then at the end of the story, they brought the pieces up to the table and placed them in the stable. We sang 4 Christmas Carols to end our program. I left coloring sheets of the manger scene and the 3 wise men with the teacher for them to color at a later time.
We look forward to sharing in area churches about our work in Romania. Scheduled dates to speak are on Dec. 13, 20 and January 10. We pray for more opportunities to come available.
We are enjoying our time of furlough. Time is passing so quickly, it will be March and time to return to the mission field before we know it.
