wooooow Christmas in Africa. what the heck. i am still alive by the way! Christmas! hmmm well i’m writing this at 4 am because i haven’t went to sleep because uh hello it is Christmas. and i am in Africa. what the heck bro
it doesn’t feel like Christmas in the pepperminty, cozy, santa sense. it actually doesn’t feel like anything. things are strange on the other side of the world. a very very good strange. we’ve got some paper snowflakes hanging up & a twig-made Christmas tree w/ hammock lights & dirty stained socks hanging on the wall as our stockings so Christmas things are happening! the americanization is whats missing. i’m not homesick though! the Lord has instilled my home in Him! there isn’t a day that goes by that i don’t miss my momma and sisters and grandma and cousins and my destiny mitchell- today is just a super miss them type of day. Christmas is beautiful this year; every year! but especially this year. the Savior of the world, the Redeemer of EVERYTHING! the Son of God! God in human form! i think Christmas should be everyday. i can’t wrap my mind around the goodness of the Lord. He is beautiful. glorious. so deserving of praise. so worthy of being honored. who are we that He would even be mindful of us! we are abundantly blessed! what a privilege to celebrate the King of kings!
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ETHIOPIA! it’s not as foreign as it seems! i had 7 no bake cookies for breakfast! (grandma knows those are my favorite, it was like she was here with me!) I LOVE YOU ALL AND MISS YOU MUCH!!!!!!:)
