My mom is now in a nursing home getting the Physical Therapy she so desperately needs.  It is a Christian one so they have Church Services everyday.  Devotionals in the morning and in special weeks (like this one) they have an afternoon service.

My mum is out of hospital but I am still flying out on Monday to be with them for Christmas.  It will be great to be with family at this time of year, because I don't have any family in this country anymore.  So I didn't have anyone to spend Christ
