I’ve talked with people whose parents would often invite missionaries to stay with their family whenever they passed through on deputation.

So far this has been very nice.

We took our first family vacation in a long time during spring break, enjoying a week with grandma Terry in Phoenix, AZ. Perhaps the highlights of the trip included our encounters with creation. Village Church of Lincolnshire begins their annual Christmas program, “The Hanging of the Greens,” with musical offerings from the children in the congregation. This year Elisabeth and Max performed a duet of “Angels We Have Heard on High.” |
