We are SO BLESSED! Thanksgiving was a wonderful day. We got to spend it out at the boarding school where we are going to work. The day was filled with wonderful co-workers, family, yummy food & lots of fun (a softball game). As missionaries we are constantly reminded of our blessings…monthly we depend on the Lord working in the lives of others to support us both financially and with prayer & encouragement. This year has been good & we were excited to share this tradition of Thanksgiving with some of our Brazilian friends. They liked the idea of taking a day to remember all that the Lord has done for them. We do too. 🙂
Now that Thanksgiving is over, Christmas is on it’s way. Joel’s parents had the kids help them put up their Christmas tree. Needless to say, we had some laughs. I wish I had gotten a picture of when they first started…they actually put the branches that go on the bottom, on the top. And not just one or two….there were quite a few up there! And Joel & his dad were helping…and they thought it was right. Hehehe! We ladies just sat and laughed. 🙂
Anyway, Christmas is on it’s way and so are we. That’s right, it’s time for us to move AGAIN. This should be the last time for a couple of years. We are heading out to PQQ next week. We are excited. Although we do have a couple of prayer request too…
Please pray-
-that all the details will work out for our move (finding a moving truck, the river level will be high enough for us to use the launch [large boat], etc.)
-that we will be able to afford all these extra expenses this month (moving costs)
-that we’ll take the time to remember the REASON FOR THE SEASON
-that our kids will once again adjust well to a new home & environment
I’ll do my best to get pictures up of our new place as soon as I can. But please be patient…we have a LOT going on. 🙂 Thanks for understanding! And Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
