Elisha and Beppie asked if we would help get ready for the Christmas Lunches they were going to do a community outreach - Oh we were ever so thankful to do so...Yes! That is what I have done in the past myself... it is such a wonderful blessing ... what a Christmas blessing to do!
We had 150 boxes to fold and staple...then packages prepared with a toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo and soap for each person!
A really cute bag was bought...Eeyore, and Winnie the Pooh and .........of course Tigger-Tiger!
Happy colors & a gift of love & JOY to them...and also supply them with some needy items too!
Beppie counted the bags...do we have it covered you guys? Do we have enough to go around???
The staff is so' sweet...Danu, Agustine and Agnes are hard workers and we are enjoying getting to know them too! Its been a pleasure coming twice a week to teach them English!
Well this part is done...and the next morning on Chistmas Eve "Day" we start up again at 9 am to get the lunches ready to deliver.
We had lots of help..including Elisha & Beppie's visiting friends from Singapore: Collins and wife Yen & their sons Isaac and Daniel!
Danu and staff member Agnes posed for a picture! Great smiles you guys! Thank you!
Anita the weekend help also chipped in this morning to get all the lunches prepared and into the boxes!
Anita scooped up the rice into a bowl and then into the box!
Agustine added the chicken into each box....
A little green onion on the rice...a little sambal for flavoring and then we added some dressing on the chicken...sesame seed oil, and a nice kecap manis...(sweet soy sauce) very tasty indeed!
OK Andreaz - you too in the picture....! Good job!
We worked like "Busy-Beavers" to get it all done before lunch......because there would also be a church service held!
Here is Collins & Yen with their sons...where is Sarah your daughter this morning????
Danu's wife Nia & their daughter too came to help...we all chipped in to get it done!
OK now the last part...get the boxes into the carrying bags (good ole' IKEA!)
Have we got it done????
More boxes Beppie, Isaac and Collins?
Wow what a beautiful sight to behold...Thank you Lord...what a blessing.
Elisha & Beppie ...our hearts our thankful this Christmas season to have met you both! Thank you - we truly felt blessed today!
We all sang together "We Wish you a Merry Christmas" in Indonesian (so' special!) ...."Salamat Natal"
everyone! "Tuhan memberkati" GOD Bless YOU!
