Christmas Caroling and Millions of dollars worth of yachts!

Our Christmas Caroling has been going great!  We have had so much fun and everyone we have sang for really seemed to love hearing our family sing Christmas songs for them!
Right before we left for Christmas Caroling last night, Kami took a quick picture of the kids.  She told Silas, "Go stand over there like Josh."  I think Silas took his job very seriously....He stood exactly like Josh!
Last night, we continued our Christmas caroling and passed out our gift bags that included the homemade gift, the invitation brochure to our Sunday Bible study, a Gospel Tract, and a copy of the books of John and Romans.  As we left one house, one man who has really ridiculed Christianity in the past told us, "One day soon, I am going to come to your church service."  Wow, what a great encouragement to us!

We are going to post some more pictures of these amazing yachts on the left at a later time.  They are huge and worth many millions of dollars each!  When we finished our Christmas caroling last Thursday, we went downtown to Gustavia to look at all of lights, festivities and yachts.  There was such a festive atmosphere and we really enjoyed strolling around.  Many celebrities and famous people come here each year to vacation and spend Christmas.  It's kind of a joke with Kami's sister who tells us, "You guys would probably walk right past a famous celebrity, invite them to church and not have a clue as to who they are!"  As we drove around last night after caroling, Kami and I pointed to different people and said, "Do they look famous....I wonder if that person is famous!"  We both agreed, we are glad we cannot recognize any of these "celebrities" !
