A very Merry Christmas to each of you!
We are enjoying an Australian Christmas, though it's evidently atypical -- it's quite cool, even for us! So, we didn't go to the beach today as we'd planned. Maybe tomorrow -- Boxing Day.
'have had a difficult time getting internet access. 'trying a bit more tonight.
Let's see, more about the contrasts -- ah, the culture of Singapore -- incredibly friendly and polite. From initial impressions, we were very!!! (impressed, that is!) The people are hard working, kind, respectful. Until the moment we left we couldn't stop talking about the cleanliness! We'd love to go back sometime!
And now, Australia, where the contrasts to Nigeria abound yet again! We were immediately struck by the cleanliness. That was something we noticed on our first trip to Oz which was pre-Nigeria. But it's even more impressive after being in Nigeria! In Joey's neighborhood the streets are perfectly clean. The yards are beautiful. The brick sidewalks are spotless. Flowers abound. Fragrances flourish. Peaceful. Calming. Quite the contrast from the headache creating streets of Nigerian cities.
What fun it was to celebrate Christmas at Hillsong Church. Let's see -- 4 different Christmas services in one week! Awesome! At one point I couldn't stop the tears from peaking out. It was so refreshing to sing so many amazing praises and Christmas carols with such a huge and diverse crowd of folks!
God is good. Very good. And we are blessed. Very blessed!
I'll write more soon and try to post photos, too, very soon!
