We spent a weekend with my mom and soon to be step-dad. We played lots of games, watched some movies and ate lots of good food. My sister and brother-in-law and brother came for a day to hang out and celebrate and Christmas.
We also spent a weekend with my dad and step-mom and we celebrated Thanksgiving with them. We watched some football games, played some games, and watched some fun TV shows.
We've also been spending lots of time with our friends, pretty much every evening we've been getting together with someone different.
And of course we have been having a great time hanging out with "our" kids, they still all remember us (thankfully we talk on Skype frequently) and play with us like we had never left.
This is a common scene from way back, the kids always surround me when I get on the computer, they're hoping to play "the racing game".
We've also been sharing our story and talking about our ministry at our supporting churches, which has been going great. We have been showing a video that we made this summer of the testimony of one of our kids who has committed his life to Christ and was baptized this summer. He has a very moving story and hopefully we'll be able to share it with you in a future blog post. Besides just telling what our ministry is about in Romania, we've been really trying to encourage people to get more involved in missions. Helping people realize their potential to make an impact in God's kingdom is something that is really on our hearts.
Jesus called us, even commanded us as his followers to spread his love and his teachings to all people. You don't have to be called all the way to Romania to do that, even your own neighborhood is a mission field. Leaving our lives behind in order to serve God in Romania doesn't make us superstars who are doing what most people can't, we are just normal people following God's will for our lives. He has been providing for us all the way and we also really appreciate the support and prayers from all of you. We are very blessed to have such great and supportive family and friends and churches.
