Christma goodies!


Jake came back from town today and look what he found! A 3lb bag of Hersey's kisses and another 3lb of Hersey's nuggets (every pregnant woman's dream! :). Amazingly the kisses are still in date and the nuggets are only two months out... it seems the little shops that sell stuff from America, buy it on sale in the States (going out of date) and then ship it here; which takes a couple of months.... so when we find some US food it is usually at least 3 months out of date. Missionary life 101: Sell by date, more of a suggestion that a rule. So these will make Christmas a little more special.



Couldn't resist posting this pic, look at those blue, blues eyes... a little chip off the ol' block! Still trying to teach Jude to be gentle with the puppies, he likes to hug them VERY tightly :)

RETRACTION: Last post I wrote that all the children at HHCH passed their end of term exams. We got their report cards back this week and a few of them did fail... a couple of them will be moving back a class, this term really was to see where they are at and place them correctly in the school. Even so, they have all done sooooo well and we're so proud of them.

YEAH for you. I am jealous:) I get chocolate in cookies etc. We just take a bar of chocolate, freeze it, and smash it with the rolling pin and voila chocolate chunks. Enjoy and hope you guys have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS. Congrats on your new little one to come. Blessings. Andrea Pavkov in Mozambique
