Christmas at the Coffee Plantation

Click Photo to Enlarge

Christmas came a little early for the kids on the coffee plantation.  The four missionary couples who participate in the Bible study on Wednesday nights decided to pull our resources and buy food for all of the families represented at the study (6 families in all!).  We also bought each child a small gift and watched their faces light up as they opened them.  These families are extremely poor and barely have enough money for food, much less gifts.  In fact, one of the families doesn’t even have electricity.  Doesn’t that help put all of the nonsensical things we do to “celebrate” our Savior’s birth in perspective?
