Well, I haven't written for a while, and now the advent season is at its peak, it's Christmas Eve!!!
This Christmas season has been quite different for obvious reasons. Last night was the CityWide Christmas Celebration. It is put on by a committee of people and sponsored by business men all over Hong Kong. The goal of the event is to bring together the English Speaking Congregations and the Cantonese Speaking churches. We had 6 kids go plus a one family. It was over on the Island in Hong Kong Stadium. The big event of the stadium is the Sevens. (The Rugby Sevens) About 8,000 people were there, and it was a three hour long program translated in both Cantonese and English. An Australian band did the worship, there was a speaker, and dancers, and also a really cute Christmas program. It's so fun to be in such an international place. I never thought I would hear Mary say, "Hi-ya, hi-ya, the baby is coming!" It was so cute. Again, I just stopped and took a moment to look around at the place I am, and where God has placed me for this short while, and I am in awe, and so thankful. Even though it's not the most convenient, it was fun to need to listen to a message through a translator.
And that was Part I of my Christmas Extravaganza
