During Mom and Dad's visit they fell in love with my community. For Christmas they sent along a beautiful gift for everyone to enjoy! It is a nativity scene to display in the Church to help the story of Christmas come alive.
I read Mom and Dad's letter in English and also translated it into Bislama for them to really understand the message. I wrote the translation and posted it for the members of the village to also re-read if they wished.
The unveiling of the Nativity! The Pastor and leader of the Youth, my counterpart Chris, touched the gift as a sign of acceptance and gratefulness. They were busy checking it out up close after service!
The community was so excited to have such a beautiful way to learn about the value of Christmas! Thanks Mom, Dad, and Grandma!!
Jess, wonderful pictures! It does make one abit homesick! It was great to see your parents visiting Tavala village and I thought that was a very thoughtful gesture on their part to donate the Nativity scene display.
