Past 4 months

Hi all,

So much has happened since September. Wow! Our friends moved to different towns. We found out we going to have a baby in July. July 15 is the due date. We found out two weeks after our friends here found out that they were also expecting so that will be a fun time when they return!

In December, we had a good Christmas party where we got to tell the story and a great many questions were asked and Truth was discussed.

Then Brian, Jamie, and Anna came to visit for Christmas. It was so much fun. It dumped about 2 feet of snow the day after they arrived and we were snowed in for a couple of days. Anna and Ethan had fun learning to play with each other and we showed them all around our town. We took them to Star Park where they got to ride the kiddie rides, and got balloons.

Then in January we all traveled to the Big City where we ate at TGIFridays, McDonalds, and Pizza Hut, and went to Starbucks 4 times in 2 days! And then we traveled down to the Mediterranean coast where we had a conference for 10 days. It was one of the best ever.

We all got sick at the end of the conference and are still fighting it off. We're excited to have a new couple join us out here and we're glad they are excited about learning language and getting to know their way around.

Well, that's all of the personal stuff that's been going on in our lives in the past 4 months. There's much more going on with our work that would take days and days to write about.

I've posted some pictures of the last 4 months. I haven't got the Christmas pics up yet, but enjoy! Thank you all for the wonderful presents that you sent and all of the money that you spent getting them here. We know it's a lot and are very grateful.
