December Update

" Suddenly, its December. It has been a good furlough. It just seems like every furlough the days creep by until suddenly, it is time to return to the field. Yesterday, it was September, and we were dropping off the kids for the first day of school. Now, we have 7 days of school left before they say goodbye to their friends. We were reminded recently that our God is a God who hears prayers and answers them for his children. Last letter we smilingly asked for some snow so that our three kids could experience a few of the normal snow activities. That prayer was answered when more than 8 inches of snow was dumped on Chicago in the weekend before Thanksgiving. Camilla was so excited she was running, yelling, and rolling in it all. The boys (with their mom's help) built a snow man, and we even had a little snowball fight. God has also been faithful in giving us new support partners as well as increased support from other individuals and churches. We are still lacking about $250 a month, and Wycliffe would like us to get as close to 100% as possible before we return to Peru. That means there is still time for you to join our monthly support team. We hope you have a blessed Christmas season and a great start to another new year.
