Christmas Event in Jesús María (video included)

Last night was the big Christmas event in Jesús Marí.  It was a crazy time, but a good time for making new friends, making our presence known in the area, and sharing about the coming of the Messiah.

The evening included three English Christmas songs from many in the English classes, Christmas carols in Spanish led by the Sendero de Vida band, a Christmas song from Shari and I, a Christmas drama in English from some of the students, some presentations from the Amigas del Alma (Mayra, Aurora and Sheri) baking class, and a short devotional from Rod.

Oh, and ponche, a favourite Mexican Christmas drink.

Everyone worked hard in a short period of time, and pulled off a fun evening.  Good work!

Since I was involved in a lot of what was going on, I took limited video.  But I do have about 5.5 minutes here to give you an idea what the evening was like, including some pictures members of my family and others took with our camera.  The lighting was interesting, so you’ll see some brightness and darkness in interesting places…
