On the 15th and the 17th we held our Christmas parties for friends and supporters. Thank you so much for your prayers, they were a success! About 40 people showed up to each one and enjoyed the snacks, kids' Christmas show, piñatas, a gift exchange and fun fellowship.
God bless the kitchen crew (Maria, Olympia, Linda, Cristina and Chris) who made over 600 flautas (fried tacos) and different snacks. Chris made his delicious spinach dip which I think everyone should try at some point in their lives.

The gift exchange was also a lot of fun as apparently it's pretty common here in Mexico. We attached the name of an animal on 2 gifts, so you first had to find the other person in the room whose gift had the same animal tag as you. Of course the way to find that person was by making the sound your animal made (i.e. if you had dog, then you barked your way around the room, etc.) With 40 people doing it all at the same time, it made for quite a few laughs.
Here are some pics:

The next 2 pics are only included cuz they made me laugh. I think they show Ben's true colors, heh.
