Boxes Update

It’s hard to believe that it’s Christmas already! It especially difficult to think Christmas when the weather is so beautiful. Where is all the snow?  Yet all around the world, in all weather patterns, our Savior is celebrated. We praise Him for the amazing gift He gave in Himself, coming to the world, for us. The best Christmas present ever given!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

In His Service,

Jason, Stacy, Brittany & Chandler

As you may remember, shortly after we arrived we learned that things were not as we had planned. Due to high amounts of rain, construction at the PMR was unable to begin.  Thankfully there was the construction of the Malmesbury church to keep Jason busy. The church is getting the finishing touches, and  at the same time the PMR is beginning it’s 1st phase. The kids and I have truly enjoyed having Jason here at the camp with us. He’s even able to come home and have lunch with us!

All work and no play?! Not when Jason is involved! He and Chandler had a  game of soccer with their new friends (fellow workers here at the camp.)

Lord bless!

Chandler played the part of a sheperd this past weekend in Mountain View’s Christmas program. It was a very well done program! Before the program began, a devotion was given reminding us to not get caught up in the material things at this time of year.  (Most all churches have their programs now because they go on school holiday from Dec. 5- mid Januray, and lots of people travel during that time.) It was a great joy to be a part of this celebration.   

A couple from Mountain View invited us to stay in their cottage for the weekend, which was a true blessing. It allowed us a bit of down time and saved a ton of driving back and forth from Paarl to Somerset West.

Jason spent Friday and Saturday helping to remodel Pastor Tom’s kitchen. What a mess! This is what I saw as I came onto the scene

In other happenings this weekend…

Brittany went to the beach with the kids in the youth group and got one of her first ever bad sunburns. Of course where I would peel and turn white, she will just tan. (Not fair!)

Chandler had a ton of fun with friends. Swimming, ping pong, and running.

I (Stacy) went to a going away tea for some ABWE ladies. It was a lovely time together. I am suffering from an out of whack equalibrium, which is making me nauseated. Not to mention I have a hard time walking straight. I have no idea what is causing it, but it’s very annoying! I thought going to the beach would make it worse, but it actually seemed to help some.

God is good! ALL THE TIME!

In Him, Stacy
