This pass Saturday the church in El Millon had there Christmas dinner. Everything started at 4am when Sister Juanita and her husband Carlos join my mom at the dorms to start making the tamales. By 6 am sisters started rolling in to start the wrapping of the tamales. OMG they were delicious! The dinner started at 4pm and every church member was there and also brought there families. 32 food bags where given out to only the church members at this time and also every child got there Christmas present. We had a great time enjoying each other, talking, talking and talking. And you know we could talk. Also on Saturday 12 people received a gift certificate of 100 pesos (15 dlls) that they could use at the local food store to buy additional food. These 12 people were chosen because they are people that are in need, and even thought we know most of the people at church at in need but these need it a bit more. Enjoy some of the picture of Saturdays X-Mas Dinner!
