Living Nativity

Last night several local churches put together a living nativity and Ryan and I(as well as a few other people who rotated with us) were Mary and Joseph and Elijah was baby Jesus! It was a lot of fun and surprisingly a lot of people showed up even though it was cold and wet. We had a nice little shelter for our stable and it kept us nice and warm, and there was also a real live donkey there too. Elijah was awake the whole time and everyone thought he was so cute! There was also a camera man from the news who showed up and took some video of us. I guess it's supposed to be on the news today. That's what happens when you live in a small town! I think this was the first time they've had a living nativity here, but I'm not sure.
Praise the Lord for this opportunity to shine his light in our community.
