Christmas

There were lots of Christmas activities in the month of December....the Okinawa Prefecture Christmas where Joanna performed with her musical choir, the Okinawa Christian School Elementary program where Joanna danced to "John 3:16", the OCSI high school Christmas program, Daiichi Baptist church and the outdoor concert that Leslie's church choir ladies participated in, Christmas party at the church, and parties for the physically and mentally challenged among other things....it was a busy time!!!

Joanna's class had a party as well and before the party, her teacher Mrs. Loh asked the students to answer the question, " What does Christmas mean to you" Here are some of the responses from the third grade class:

"Christmas is all about Jesus" Kaito
"Christmas is about God's love" Akiko
"Christmas is about Jesus being born and Santa's elves. Santa Clausgiving out presents and really all about God's love" Joseph
"Christmas is about Jesus and presents and Santa Claus. Jesus is a good guy" Yo
"Christmas is about Jesus and the angel said, "Do not be afraid; I bring you good news of great joy. It is for all the people today: in the city of David a Savior has been born" Joanna

We pray that your Christmas was blessed and that you felt the love of the Savior whose birth we remember.
