We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!
We came back from America last week after spending lots of fun time with our family and friends. They all made our trip so special! We will write more about the trip soon!!! We had an opportunity to go to Hawaii on our way home and saw our new friends who had come to Sendai as volunteers in October. We had a great time with them!
As soon as we came home, Luke started feeling bad and he ended up going to the local hospital to get an IV. Thankfully, he got better after that and we were able to go to the Christmas Eve service (Michael preached!!!) and the Christmas Day service at our church. What an amazing church family we have!!! We thank God for the people from the community who came to our church for the first time! We pray their hearts were opened and they will continue to come.
The Christmas Eve service- sorry we don’t have any pictures of Michael preaching… Everyone told us what a blessing and encouragement his sermon was! PTL!!! A big “thank you” to those who prayed!

We had a potluck lunch after the worship service on Sunday.
At the Christmas party, we had a church-wide Christmas gift exchange. It is always so much fun!
It was our first Christmas as a family of three and we had such a blessed time together. We received one of the most precious gifts from God this year. Words cannot describe how much joy Luke brought into our lives. As we thank God for Luke’s life, we praise Him for giving us the best gift that anyone could receive. Happy Birthday, Jesus!
We pray you have a blessed new year!
