Winter is upon us here in Jordan as temperatures have dropped and the wind has started gusting. We are thankful for our new house (as it is not on the fourth floor) but it is still a challenge to keep warm.
Pray for our family as we enter this season. We have all been sick with on-going colds and sinus congestion. Susan is currently trying to recover from a throat infection that has her home from school for a couple days. School for Susan and Annabelle is going well. They only have a couple more weeks before the winter break so things are very busy for them right now. We are so thankful that Annabelle loves going to school and Susan is seeing many opportunities for ministry helping in the Kindergarten.
Annabelle asked to have some of her classmates and friends over to her house so we planned a special Christmas party for her and her friends! We love Annabelle’s heart to “share” life with others. While she is at the age where sharing her ‘things’ is a hard concept, she loves ‘being with’ her friends. After the party I asked her what her favorite thing about the party was. She thought for a minute and said with a very serious tone “all my friends at my house” and then she said making the ornaments with them was fun.
Matt is continuing his daily visits with refugee families. The after-school program is growing by a few children every week. Lately, he has been having some intense conversations about the Gospel with one man in particular. Please pray for these conversations and a heart to respond. |
