Christmas in Soweto in 2011

Merry Christmas to all of our loved ones.  We are thinking of you as we celebrate the season in Africa.  We have
found great joy in our service to the children and good people of Africa.  Following are some memories of several
evenings of Christmas Caroling and spreading the love of our Savior with the Young Single Adults of Soweto. 

The Young Single Adults sang in full voice as they visited friends who
had not participated with them for some time.  After each visit they would
encircle the brother or sister and give hugs and love.  Some of the young
people even joined with us as we continued caroling.

The children of all ages loved Father Christmas.  They really seemed to relish the hug even more than the "sweet"
that Santa had for them.  And the amazing thing--not one child expected more than one treat, and they all had a
smile and a hug for Father Christmas.

They brought these fun glasses for the children.  They loved them almost
as much as they did Father Christmas.
