Hornbrooks in Mexico City: Christmas Program!

Christmas Program!

Thank you so much for all your prayers! Our Christmas Program went very well!! We aren't sure how many folks attended (forgot to delegate this to someone!) but we had more guests than we've ever had before at an activity!! The cast and the choirs did so well! Of course the Children's Bell Choir is the cutest thing ever. No one fell up or down the stairs when filing on or off the platform!! We did have a couple of dropped bells. No biggie. We had wonderful tamales and atole afterwards. And then the grand finale was the breaking of piñatas!!

We started out the day with our normal worship service. Then we all stayed and had lunch here at the house. Wall to wall people!!! It was fun because we also ate together the night before after our final rehearsal! Right now we are all experiencing a little let down. Not because of anything that happened yesterday but because we have all enjoyed all the Saturday practices. We have all grown as a church body the past month and a half of Saturday practices. We will all miss the fun time of singing, laughing and eating together! I have to admit that I'm exhausted but it is a good exhaustion. A very clear presentation was given of the True Meaning of Christmas and any tiredness we are experiencing today was well worth it!

My ankle held up well yesterday with all the activities. Thanks for your prayers! Nicole's ears are doing much better! Double ear infections are pretty painful. She still has a lot of flem and is coughing a lot but on the mend!!

Trust everyone keeps Christ in the center as we wrap up these final days before Christmas!
