Wow! What a fun night we had our home last night. We invited people over to see us and we had about 20 people show up! It was so nice to see you all and to catch up, and we know there are others we'd love to see who weren't able to make it this time. We made lots of Christmas cookies had hot apple cider and enjoyed catching up with one another. Thank you! We even had one African woman with us - Emelda - who became a friend of Fish Lake Lutheran's several years ago.
We are enjoying the relaxed time of living and preparing for Christmas. Trying to decide where to worship on Sundays and for Christmas is a new experience.
We are excited to spend good quality time with extended family and friends over the holidays and to begin back at Fish Lake Lutheran on January 2. 2013!
We are still without internet at our home, so we are at my brother's now using his! When we get it at home, we will reflect more on our time in Iringa, our return home, and our expected return to ministry.
Tonight we head out into the cold at the Holidazzle Parade in downtown Mpls. Not quite the Tanzanian climate we have become used to, but we are hearty Minnesotans and have re-acclamated quite well.
Have a blessed and a merry Christmas.
Peace and love to you all,
Dale
