On Saturday we decided to plan our weekly meeting with a Christmas theme and then we wanted to have a small Christmas party afterward.  It was such a fun day and most of the students who decided to come were there for the discussion.  Due to timing of students showing, meeting them, and getting the talk and discussion ready we started about 45 minutes late.  At the time it didn't seem like a good thing but because it was later, everyone we invited was able to be there for the discussion.  The pastor of the local church also came and was able to participate in the discussion.  Amazingly enough there were many more girls there, which is so unusual! But for the students that came it was the first time the gospel was shared clearly and in their own language.  With some of them, we didn't know before where they were exactly with spiritual things mostly because of language barriers.  We're so thankful the pastor was there to answer questions and for the students to see a believer from this country!

We also played a game called "Pass the Parcel" in which everyone ended up with a small gift.  We decorated paper christmas trees and three people got a prize.  We iced christmas cookies, shared a meal together and ended the night singing Christmas carols.  Our friends thought the night was beautiful and we're so thankful for the opportunity for our students to clearly hear the gospel!
