Christmas






We had a very relaxed Christmas this year!



We managed to find a turkey and even cranberry sauce, so Christmas dinner was a real feast.



After skyping friends and family from the early hours of the morning, we went to church to celebrate the birth of Jesus with a small group of good friends there.



We then came home and spent the rest of the day with our pastor, Spencer, and his wife Tinderay, and also the Matsveru family (David, Florence, Loretta and Kundi). The Matsveru family are from Zimbabwe and Spencer and Tinderay are Hereros from Namibia, so we were a great mix of cultures and traditions... especially around Christmas time. None of us had family in Windhoek, and it was great to be together.



For all of our differences we shared the most important things in common; a love for the Lord Jesus, a desire to celebrate his birth, and a love of good food.



We ate, talked, played games and generally had a great time!
