Fireworks on the beach- to give you an idea of how close we were, this picture was taken from our base without zoom

Feliz Ano Nuvo! It’s actually 7am here as I’m writing this. New Years night went very well- the city around the base was pretty quiet. We had a prayer walk around the perimeter in the morning and people prayed and exalted God all night- especially as we ate an awesome New Years dinner! Lots of the kids stayed up in the biblioteca watching episodes of Tom and Jerry on our new projector. It reminded me of new years at David’s…Hope you all had fun!!

At midnight there was a 5 minute proper fireworks display on the beach at the hotel just across the street from us. Everyone cheered. And everyone who was asleep woke up (it was close enough that it shook the rooms) and came out for the celebration! Right now I’m off to play for a New Years worship service. Happy New Year friends!
