December is here! This weekend we began decorating the ship for Christmas. On Saturday afternoon Xavier and I helped decorate the midships cafe area. We put up a Christmas tree and put some decorations on top of the piano. Other crewmembers also hung garlands, put up trees, and strung ornaments to add some holiday atmosphere to the Africa Mercy. In the evening, my family and I decorated our own cabin. Afterwards, we drank hot chocolate, ate popcorn, and watched Toy Story together. On Sunday we went to the first advent service. Xavier got to stand in front and help light the first candle with the kindergarden and first-grade class. I think this year's Christmas season has gotten off to a great start!
