Coming from southern Japan, we typically don’t see snow. However, one of the presents for the kids this year is seeing a goodly amount of it! We left early to miss traveling in a snowstorm, and then we had the delight of shoveling it, building a snowman dubbed “Harry”, making snow angels, and sledding! A lack of the right type of clothing makes this only slightly less than wonderful, but it doesn’t seem to faze the kids.
We hope you had a great Christmas this year with your family, friends, or just you and the Lord. We enjoyed spending time with my parents, siblings and family, and extended family.
As I sit here, snow is quietly drifting down, slowly blanketing the scenery. The world looks different covered in white!
We want to thank each of you who has sent Christmas gifts, cards, and support this year. We are grateful for you! May God richly bless you in this coming year. We pray God’s best for you!
Just read your latest letter and am glad to see you had a good Dec. You are still on my prayer list and I continue to remember you and the children especially Chloe who spent a Sunday in my class at Ripon. Hope all had a good Holiday. May you have a happy and safe New Year. Barbara Grahn
