Christmas Day with an International Flare

Christmas Day was a gathering of a few friends and a teacher from the university where we study Spanish.  Kim prepared an outstanding Christmas turkey dinner, Canadian style!  Pictured below is Gary with Sanne from Netherlands.  


How does Kim keep her cool when dinner is ready and we are waiting for our Mexican friend/teacher to arrive....2 hours late?  



Sanne and Cristina (Mexicana) chatting with Timothy(hands) as we await dessert. 




Timothy(USA) and Luca (Switzerland) chillin' before dinner. Both before and after dinner we had wonderful conversation with these new friends. 


The group foto!  Timothy had enjoyed a wonderful conversation with a youth pastor who was staying with him and continued the conversation with Kim while helping with the dishes.  We will keep up via Facebook, etc.  


How special it was to lead this group from different parts of the world in a prayer of thanks for the birth of Jesus.  It was difficult to be away from our family over Christmas, but Kim's plan for a dinner for those who did not have family made our day very special. Thanks Kim!!!!
