Today, Casa Shalom received a visit from the North Pole's most famous resident! Tommy, a member of the team from North Carolina that is currently working at Casa Shalom, has played Santa Claus on missions trips to several countries and brought his red suit to Guatemala. The team invited the children from the local neighborhood to come see and Santa and to receive gifts - about 100 kids came, heard about Jesus from Santa Claus, and received presents! After they left, Santa made the rounds to all the houses at Shalom. He brought gifts to the kids and had a nifty little photo printer that allowed him to print photos in under a minute. Each child at Casa Shalom got a photo of him or herself with Santa!
