Merry Christmas!


Well I can't believe it is already Christmas! I had hoped to be better at staying up to date on this but alas, the year is over and I have written so little! We have had a great Christmas season. We stayed busy with volunteers and were excited to see 5 new folks pray to receive Christ! God is really using volunteers to share Christ with the Japanese people.
We had a big Christmas party at our community center and were very excited when 60 or so people came! It was a great opportunity to share the true meaning of Christmas. Several of Avery's friends came so she was really happy to get to tell them about Jesus!
We did something a little different this year at the Brents' home. We decided to open half of our Christmas gifts today (Christmas Eve) and the other half tomorrow on Christmas Day. It has been fun to spread out the fun for two days. I think the whole family was in need of a few days of just "playtime" after a crazy holiday season. It was fun to just drink cocoa, play games, watch Christmas movies, and enjoy being together.
We pray that your holiday season is a blessed one and that the coming year is full of joy in the Lord! Merry Christmas!
