Working with the youth in our church has been both challenging and fun. We hosted a Christmas party and they seemed to really enjoy it. We showed 2 Christmas movies, had a White Elephant gift exchange, taught them how to sing The 12 Days of Christmas, introduced them to tacos for lunch and then had them decorate sugar cookies. There were a lot of new things for them to be exposed to like our Christmas tree and some of our traditions.
We took a trip to Quelimane, a city about 8 hours away from where we live. Our leaders have asked us to pray and consider moving there this next year sometime. There are a few Mozambican churches there that we could be involved with in discipleship and possible missions training. We have some co-workers who currently live there who were very helpful in showing us around and introducing us to different people.
We went to the beach with another missionary family for a few days of rest. It’s amazing how the sound of the ocean instantly de-stresses me! With the beach being 3 hours away, we feel incredibly blessed when we get to spend a few days at this gorgeous beach.
I can’t believe that my youngest child is now 5. He had his birthday at the beginning of December and enjoyed having some friends over to play and help him celebrate. We are so grateful to God for surprising us with a wonderful blessing of a boy!
