Lear

Christian

Friends,

H a _ y ^ : 7

New Yearf The

Lord

has (jivon

us

another year to serve Him,

As we

looli

back over

the yast year,

can

we say we

have done our

best

to

further

hie kini^doa?

H o _ , : ) e f u l l y we

can

all

say yes to that question and

start an

other year

to

do even more for

His

liinjdom.

The Lord has been so to us here at Casa de Ninos, We had a very

iierry

C h r i s t i n a ^ j i , «thanlvs

to yeople like

you

who made

itpossible.

The child

ren received more than

enough toys, clothes, and

candy. Can

you

imagine

eighteen

kids

openin g their pifbs

a t

the

s a n i o

time?.

We

were

knee deep

in

wrapping i'aper but

what

fun we

had.

It was hard

to

keep

up with

a l l the

exclamations

of

what wa s fourd in each package. Needless to say, our house

^ v a s

ful l

of Christmas joyi We

had 26

for

Ciiristmas

dinner which

consisted

of b a i l e d

chicken,

creamed

salad,

macaroni

and cheose, and homemade cookies.

All was enjoyed and

none

left over

Christmas Eve we

had

a Christmas X - ' r o p r a n here in

the

home for the

new con-

prepation. The children did

a n excellent job

on the

dramas which they pre

sented

and everyone joined

in with

the

beautiful

Christmas

hymns. Tnere

were 36 p e o x ^ l e

^ . r e s e n t ,

A house

full

but

what joy it

brinps to ones

heart

to know wo were a l l united for

one purx'jose—

to celebrate o u . r

Sa viour's birth

The

La nd project

a s

mentioned

in

Lecember

newsletter

is

still

a

; i r o j e c t

of prayer, .

he

l and

is

beinp held by

the

court a s result of the

owner's

death. So

fortunately , o have

a

little more time to raise the money. If

the Lord s

willinp,

we will

have the money

v / h e n

the

lepal matters are

com

pleted, We send a special t h a n l v s to those of you who have and are respondinp

to this

Gp;ecial

need,

2 * e w Years

Eve

was

spent

patientl y waitinp for 12 o-'clock so

v / c

could

a l l

wish

one

another

H a p - ) p y

New Year and send the kids off to bed.

Seriously,

wo

enjoyed the time topether a s a

family. We

had chocola te cupcakes, popcorn,

and lemonade. We were al l set

with

p:uzzles, pa mos, a nd col orinp books to

k e e p j the

children busy

until

12.

To our

surprise,

wo did not need

any

of

then.

A l l

I did was

start

poppinp corn

w i . t h

our new

hot-air

p c c ) p o r

(piven

by Peachtree City Christian Church) and

a l l

wore

in

a

trance. As l onp as

it

was

poppanp

all

eyes wore open wide, I

never

knew somethinp so s i m p ^ . l e

could be

such

an

excellent baby sitter.

The

New Year was really

broupht

in

with the arrival

of

Pat's

father and

uncle,

r

as the children

call them,

Grandpia 1 and Grandp/a,2, Thoy cane with

the intentions of rep)ai.rinp thinpa around

t i i e

house. They are

tryinp

vepy

hard but when they fix one

thinp,

two

more

fall apart. We all enjoy havlnp

them

both and will

miss

them

when they leave.
