We received an official welcome from our new family tonight. After dinner all gathered around the large patio fireplace. Darkness fell at 7pm and a roaring fire warmed us in the cool night air (a refreshing 60 degrees). We all sang hymns led by mini-missionaries. Then each Mama took turns standing before us with her children singing a song or quoting bible verses. Weary as we were (up at 3am as bodies still adjusting to new time zone) it was a wonderful evening.
God is blessing us exceedingly and abundandly.

AWESOME! That's beyond what I imagined. What a sweet time. I hope it's the first of many fireside worship times.
How wonderful!!! Thanks for sharing! It makes ya'll feel not quite so far away!!!
That's a wonderful story. I can't wait to hear more like it.
I love it! I can imagine the little voices...the starry sky, the smell of the fire...just like we were there. I cant wait to hear all of the stories...I pray for you all the time but I let God figure out the time difference...Okay Lord, protect their sleep...if they are sleeping now...or if it is daytime, let their fellowship be sweet...
Hi guys,
I tried to read your comments about the campfire night to my family and I started to cry as I thought of those moms and litte children singing to your family. How precious! We miss you and think of you everyday. We are praying.
