For Christmas 2009, Conexion small groupers gathered to celebrate and fellowship together.
During the planning process of the event, the Chileans decided that they wanted a "gringo" Christmas dinner with a turkey and all. Melody and I were excited to do such a dinner because making turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole, cut out cookies, fudge, and all sorts of goodies reminded us of Christmases back in the States.
We spent the whole day, the day of the dinner, preparing the food. After many cooking mishaps and thinking maybe this dinner wouldn't happen, praise the Lord everything came together right in time!
Our favorite part of the whole dinner was getting to see the students enjoy the "gringo" food that they have never tasted and to build gingerbread houses that are not very common here.
It was awesome to get to spend Christmas with our Chilean family.
