Now that most of the Christmas bliss and crazy has begun to settle, I wanted to take this time to quickly share about our family Christmas.
This was our first Christmas celebrating with just the three of us, so we tried to keep some of our family traditions in hopes of maintaining a Christmas feeling, while also starting some new traditions as well.
We were able to attend the Bangkok C&MA Thai Pastor's Christmas party, which was such a blessing to be together with all the workers in the area.
We also were able to celebrate at a couple of Christmas services with the Thai church that we attend.

On Christmas Eve, we went around to all of our neighbors and the guards at our apartment and pasted out presents... homemade treats, a Christian calendar and some tracts about the true meaning of Christmas. We hope and pray that these small gifts will make a large impact and give us further opportunities to build relationships where God has us.

We celebrated Christmas morning as a family and then went to a Christmas service at night.

Thanks so much for all your support and prayers throughout this past year. We feel so blessed to be supported by you all and to be able to use this space to share our experiences. May God richly bless you and yours this Holiday season.
