As we had the missionaries from Cajamarca in the mission home for the
Christmas Concert, we decided to celebrate and early Christmas.
We had a traditional North American Christmas dinner with Turkey, Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, Cranberry Sauce and Jugo de Maracuyá (OK, maybe not so traditional).
We then had a talent show, to let everyone enjoy the Christmas Spirit.
