The Merry Christmas Parade :)

I titled this Christmas Parade because we were invited and attended 4 different homes on Christmas! We started the day by enjoying breakfast, then headed to prayers (that's what Africans call church), and then we started the parade. We first went to Nurse Grace's home for African pancakes and soda. We brought a couple small gifts for the children and a cake for the family. We then went to Cor and Grace's home. They go to church at PAG and run a primary boarding school for orphans, they are amazing. We have a good friend Nadine, who's 19 and from Germany, that works and lives with them. We had a wonderful meal of rice, chicken, chapati, smosas, matoke and gnut sauce, soda, pineapple, and I think that's all...alot! After their home we went to Bison (Beeson, the village next to Smile Africa where all the children live) to see Teacher Teddy! We had told her not to cook for us because we were going to so many homes, she listened and gave us necklaces. She said that was our dinner, haha! We were so grateful though because I don't think any of us would've been able to eat anymore. From her house we finished with Nurse Salima's home. We had milk tea and mandazis, they taste like doughnuts, mmm! We had a wonderful day filled with lots of fellowship and Joy!
