Christmas Party

Last Sunday we had our Mavuno Christmas Party, with all the Mavuno fulltime volunteers, and the research team that is out from Grace Bible Church. It was an awesome time of encouragement, fellowship, eating, and fun. The food was great, singing together was awesome, it was so much fun to watch the kids open their presents, and the white elephant gift exchange was hysterical. Basically we all had a blast.
