Christmas this year was really special! We did a lot of preparation for Christmas at our house. We did a Jesse Tree for the first time this year. We enjoyed doing it and we'd like to continue this tradition! As our kids get older it's fun to see them grasp the reason why we celebrate Christmas. They seem to understand that Jesus' birth was the most important birth and worthy of a big celebration!!
We are almost through the month of mourning that our Shia friends have each year. We've spent time being in our village and sitting with our friends during this time of mourning. We wore black out of respect for them.
We have been Tim and Jeni Saltzman since June 3rd, 2000! We met in college and got married. After a few years of working and getting our masters degrees, we moved to the Middle East. A couple years after moving overseas, we adopted Joseph and then Faith from Ethiopia. God blessed us with Eve Gloria, our surprise addition, on April 13th, 2015.
This blog is to update family and friends in the States about our life on the other side of the world!
