Merry New Year and Happy Christmas...(or something like that)

"Dashing through the snow (minus the snow) in a one horse open sleigh (or chinese taxi), o'er the fields we go (aka: highways), laughing all the way (because we cheated death once again)...
Bells on bobbed tail ring (more like horns honking) making spirits bright (there ARE lots of lights here) What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight (like the "H@llelujah Chorus" for the fact that our driver didn't hit anyone)."

Hello Everyone! We're coming to you LIVE from Xi.ning, Qing.hai, Ch!na! (well, not so much live, but it sounded cool).

Since the holiday season is definitely upon us, I thought I would take a moment to say MERRY CHRISTMAS and give a quick little shout out to what we are thankful for:

1. We're thankful that J3sus came to this earth and loves us so much that he died for us. (Yes, its a "Sunday school" answer...but its true! So, it deserves the number 1 spot.)

2. We are thankful for supporters. Both pr@yerfully and financially. Don't know what we would do without you!

3. We are thankful that, even though life seems hard out here sometimes...we know that G0d has a plan for us and that his plan is perfect!

4. We are thankful that we live in a nice warm house that is larger than any we had in the states, yet SOOOOOOOOO much cheaper.

5. We are thankful for our close friendship network here that we laugh and tell stories with.

6. We are thankful for being here with Brian and Gennie H. from our home ch.urch. We can't imagine being here without them.

7. We are so very thankful for our Sunday fellowship group who have been our family or "home away from home".

8. We are thankful for our team members Tim and Lindsey F. for being great leaders and motivators.

9. We are thankful for the little snippets of joy and goodnews that we hear coming in from the plateau of people worshiping the Father.

10. We are thankful for YOU!

Merry CHRISTmas!!!!!!!
