A Christmas Visitor

For Christmas Kevin’s dad, Craig, came for a visit. We had a wonderful time running him all over Santa Cruz. We took him on our fantastic bus system where the average height of the ceiling is 5 to 5 and-a-half feet tall. Kevin’s dad is 6.2’ and generally when people hop on micros they have wait for a seat. He was a wonderful sport and we do believe that he started to enjoy our way of traveling in the end. He also helped us deliver Christmas packages to our Santa Cruz pastors which I will talk more about in the next blog. We celebrated Christmas Eve at a nearby orphanage where we all had a wonderful time playing soccer with the kids and enjoy a special dinner. Kevin’s dad was able to meet so many of our new friends and visit the church Kevin’s been preaching at the last few months. We felt very encouraged to be able to show him all that we have been doing the past year.
While we weren’t able to spend Christmas with all of our family members this year, it felt very special to have dad hear to celebrate and encourage us. Thank you dad, we will never forget this Christmas. :)

What a tremendous encouragement it must have been to spend time with your Dad, Kevin! I'm so glad that he was introduced to the Bolivian way of life and was able to live with you, if only for a short time. Thank you, Craig!
