not much to write about this past week, we spent the first two days of the week at the hospital, and then spent the next two days planning a blessing for the hospitals and clinics we’ve helped out in and delivering them. just a few goodies and a card for them to feel blessed at christmas time!
then it was christmas eve, there is a big base celebration each year so we helped decorate and cook dinner. i made decorations, including a paper snowman of course! dinner was chicken, rice, salad and a fruit salad for dessert. there was a bit of celebration with singing and a little spiel of what christmas means to us. then all of us girls in our room took our mattress on the floor and had a ‘sleepover’! it was nice to sleep under the fan and its actually turned into a thing we now all do, every night move our mattresses under the fan and every morning place them back in our beds. waking up christmas morning was good, we were woken up by Naomi’s family calling her, then after her phone call my family called! very exciting, i was not expecting that! a perfect way to start my christmas day. we had stockings and hot chocolate and some goodies for a ‘breakfast’ and then we cleaned up and packed up and a few of us headed to a hotel to spend the rest of the day! it was so nice to be able to spend christmas there, and the next morning our entire team joined us for a buffet breakfast.
after breakfast we headed to the beach, it was so busy, seems everyone had the same idea to celebrate boxing day at the beach.... not just Tanzanians either. we spent a few hours there and then headed back to the base... christmas was over....
it was a pretty low key week, next week we go to the hospital and our new three staff come.... we’ll see what happens!!
till next time...
