Every year it seems as thought we are more and more at home. With Thanksgiving we celebrated with our fellow American missionaries. It was a day of familiar food that brings you right back to your roots. It is still a bit different celebrating Thanksgiving wearing shorts and t-shirts unlike the years of cold weather we had in Minnesota. Yet like I said it gets more and more normal to be way from home.
After Thanksgiving we got the house back together again. Then on to other projects and events for the following month. We have a Christmas project as well as doing a vacation bible school before Christmas. We might even go to the coast for a day or two in the middle of it all. Busy, busy, busy.
One thing I thought I would mention was one of my students from level one English class. Last night we once again read from the Bible in English. As we talked about it. There is one student in particular whose name is Imelda. She is in her 50's and has 5 children from the ages of 31 to 11. She has told me that her husband left her some time ago. Each week she writes down the scriptures that we go over in class so she can read them to her family when she gets home. It is something she looks forward to each week. Each week just getting a bit of the truth which is being planted in her heart. It is the truth that sets you free. Pray for her. Pray that God would use His word to speak to her.
