Learning Thai

Last night we had our first RMM team and REACH team Sunday worship time at our house. It is really a blessing to have the REACHER's here. They have so much energy and enthusiasm that is really encouraging and we're blessed by their great attitudes and desire to learn! You can pray for them as they adjust to a new culture and begin language school today.

Didn't quite get everyone in this picture. We've outgrown our dining room table now! The Reachers are: Colleen, Ashley, Brittney, Deanna, Beth, and Joelle.

We've also been excited about getting ready for Christmas around our house. On Friday night we had a family decorating party complete with crafts, hot chocolate, and Christmas music. Now that we have our tree up, we're enjoying it's cozy glow and our nightly advent devotions. We are also getting really excited about my parents coming in a few weeks! You can also pray for them as they travel to Morocco, Spain, and Israel before ending up here on Dec. 18. We can hardly wait!!

Claire and Eliza get crafty.

On a side note, it's mango season again. This mango came of a tree in our front yard today.....

....And in even more exciting news, the "cold" season is here!! We LOVE it! It actually gets a little cool at night now- in the 70s and the days are in the 80's. What a blessing! December is a wonderful month around here.
