Christmas

Well, Christmas in Kenya is always a little different from the Canadian norm…though this year, we’ve had a few storms blow in with more rain than usual – which has been nice! You can close the doors, batten down the hatches and hunker down with a sweater or a throw blanket occasionally – what a treat! We’ve had a great last little while here, with some trips to the coast, camping, etc. It has been busy, but fun.

So, this semester has come and gone…time marches on like so many toy soldiers. And, especially now, we tend to miss our wonderful families and friends back home more than ever (and the snow, don’t forget the snow). But, unless you stumble upon 12000 bones hidden somewhere at the back of some closet, it’s pretty much impossible to jump on a plane and head for the prairies at the drop of a hat. Know that you all are missed!

And, in other news…there’s not really much that is news these days. Things here are still the same – politically, stability (in the Kenyan sense of the word) remains – culturally, things are usually enjoyable and diversity is cool – community wise, it’s a chore sometimes and blessing in others – and our family is doing well, in fact, doing very well I’d say. So, we carry on into the new year with anticipation of the new experiences we can assume will come our way, and a hope that our lives will continue to have meaning in what we do each day. We pray the same for you, and that you would especially feel challenged to reach out to those you know and don’t know in response to the unmitigated generosity of our God.

Blessings and Peace be yours in the new year!
