Happy Christmas


We hope you enjoy this little video. We want to wish you a lovely Christmas wherever you are. It has been so exciting for us this year with Tabitha being much more aware of what is going on. She has been involved in so many school activities but the highlight had to be the Nativity play when she sang a solo verse of 'Away in a Manger'. It has been fun to really begin to explore the Christmas story together and along with all her Christmas songs she sings away at 'Happy Birthday'.

Like so many we can look back over a year of ups and downs, changes, sadness and excitement. We feel so overwhelmed and blessed by your support and feel totally lost as to how to adequately say thank you. May you tangibly feel God's blessing in your lives and truly see Him providing for all your needs, physical, emotional and spiritual as this year ends and a new one begins.

Into December

It's pretty busy with deputation meetings at the moment. We are so encouraged to meet many people who have been following the ministry and to share what God has done. Missionary work is most certainly teamwork and we are so aware that we have been privileged to be a small part of a very big team.

Our de-brief was a great opportunity to reflect once again on the big picture. The term 'closing a chapter' fills me with a measure of sadness. Looking back over photos of Mexico brings that same sense of sadness. It would be so much nicer if it wasn't so far away! It was fabulous this weekend to meet up with 3 other couples who have lived away from home and understand those feelings. It has been an exciting chapter but this is an exciting book and we are excited about jumping into the next chapter too.

There is still no movement to report on our house. We did have a couple of viewings this week and we continue to trust that it will sell in God's perfect time. Please pray with us as we try to remain patient and look forward to seeing how He works it all out.
