Dear Family and Friends,
When Kristin and I awoke on December 25, we wished each other a Merry Christmas and decided to head down for a late morning swim in the lagoon in front of The Base. The Peruvian sun shone brightly, as we swam out to the middle and had fun talking and singing songs like “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” and “I’m Dreaming of aWhite Christmas.” Later on, Kristin and I brought the sweet potato casserole and chocolate chip cookies we had slaved over the day before over to the Donesky’s house (new American pilot and his family) for Christmas dinner. Afterwards, we watched The Santa Claus and ate the cookies and Oreo Cheesecake. Yep, we had it made. However, the only thing I missed was being away from my family during the Christmas season.

In Our Savior’s Love,
