Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you and your family had a fabulous Christmas and enjoyed the time you spent together. For the past week I have been in Kenya on safari and on the beach in Mombasa. Eight teachers from the school went together to have a unique Christmas away from home. We had a great time filled with lots of memories and funny moments :) On Christmas morning we went to a small church we found on the beach and it was amazing to be able to worship with brothers and sisters from all over the world in one room.
On our safari we were able to see lots of elephants, zebras, giraffes, buffalo, gazelle, monkeys, baboons, and birds of all kinds. We saw a lion and leopard at a distance, we were not able to catch them up close. It was incredible to see these animals in their natural habitat and be blown away by the creativity of our Father. Beauty surrounded us constantly.
And the beach was so amazing! The sand was soft powder like flour and the ocean was the most beautiful shades of blue and green. Palm trees lines the beach and everywhere we looked it was like a picture out of a travel magazine.
But the greatest Christmas present of all was that our apartment was fixed when we got back! We were so thankful to be able to move back in yesterday and try to get everything sorted out again.
I wish you all a very happy new year and hope that 2008 brings rich blessings!

Hi Jennifer,
My name is Cathy Norwood and I am part of a womens class here at TPC. Your parents came to visit us today and told us all about your journey to Africa. We are so excited to come along side you in this. We supported Keri Turner during her time in Tanzania. So this feels like a home coming back to Africa. You have amazing parents who love you and support you. What a joy it was to hear your story thru their words. I look forward to hearing from you. Love & Blessings
