We are having a hard time believing it is Christmas already, especially since it is warm out and there is no snow. Quite different from those Minnesota winters we are used to! At this time of year we like to reflect on why we celebrate Christmas. Some of the questions we like to ask our children are: Why do we decorate a tree? Why do we put up lights? Why do we send cards? Why do we give gifts to each other, when it isn’t our birthday? Some pretty good questions, and over the years have heard some very funny and some real cool answers. We enjoy discussing all the why’s with our children, which has ended up being a fun family tradition.
The highlight of our year would definitely have to be finishing up our fund raising and coming to Thailand. It was difficult to have to leave our family and friends, but know that this is where God has called us, and there is no place we would rather be. Besides, with the internet, it almost feels like we are just down the street! :)
We want to take a moment to say how much we appreciate all of our friends and family. We feel extremely honored to be able to serve God here in Thailand and we couldn't be here without your love, encouragement and prayers. For YOU we are grateful!
We love you and pray for abundant JOY for you during this season and the year to follow!
Much Love,
Troy, Cheryl
Nathaniel, Naomi & Natalie
