Month: December 2010

It’s amazing to think that another year has come and gone!  What do you see when you look back at 2010?  I see an adoption that became final, new birth certificates with our last name on it, visas to go to the U.S., and a trip to the U.S. as a family!  These are just a few of the blessings of the Lord this year!  There are so many other things I could mention.   I don’t know what 2011 holds for us as a missionary family, but I do know Who holds 2011 in His hands.

We had a wonderful Christmas!  It was a busy day that started early and ended late but well worth it to be with family some of whom we have not seen in a very long time!

Merry Christmas to all of you!  We wish you all a Merry Christmas!  We have now been in the U.S. for a week and it has been a crazy time but we are so thankful to be able to spend the holidays with our family.  We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

We are in the United States of America!  We arrived on Thursday the 16th and hit the ground running.  It has been great to be in the U.S. again and our girls are loving everything here – especially the snow.  I haven’t had time to upload pictures but hopefully they are coming soon.  Rebecca’s dad had open heart surgery the day before our arrival.  He has had several complications including a heart attack and stroke.  We are praising the Lord that he has come through everything and is doing better. Thank you to those of you who have been praying and please continue to pray.  It looks like he is going to have a long road to recovery.

On Saturday we had our annual Christmas party for our kids club!  We had a great time and 33 children came.  We had chocolate covered pretzels, peppermint patties, cupcakes, punch, played games, and of course opened presents!  All the boys and girls seemed to love their gifts.  Here are some pictures:
