The Nativity Competition!
Things here have been busy with getting ready for Christmas. We have Christmas parties, a Christmas program at school, and amigo secreto (secret friend) exchanges going on. Each year at the orphanage each of the houses competes in a Christmas tree and nativity competition. The house that I am currently at decided to do a gingerbread/candy type nativity scene. So for the last couple nights we have been working full force since we would like to win the competition. Things were looking good last night, until one of the kids ate Mary and the Star of Bethlehem crashed to the floor in the middle of the night. I'm proud to say that baby Jesus has survived in his Milky Way wrapper. I will let you know the outcome of the competition next week. I think we could place a solid 11 out of 12.

Oh Jen. Sounds like Christmas is full of fun times over there in Equador. When are you going back to the states? Shoot me an e-mail soon. Or call me around Christmas time! Love you!
