For a child will be born to us, a son will be
given to us;
And the government will
rest on His shoulders;
And His name will be
called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of
Peace.
There will be no end to the increase of His
government or of peace,
On the throne of David
and over his kingdom,
To establish it and to
uphold it with justice and righteousness
From then on and
forevermore
The zeal of the LORD of
hosts will accomplish this.
Isaiah 9:67
The
Christmas season is here! Jesus is born! Every where you look there are lights,
Santas, manger scenes, and Christmas trees. It’s quite odd living in a country
that’s not terribly cold for Christmas. (Although, to see the people and how
they dress, you would thing a blizzard was approaching!). 1 week left of school
until Christmas break! Just about 9 days until my sister comes! The same day my sister arrives I’m going to a
15 year old girls birthday celebration. Here in Mexico the 15th birthday
is sort of like a sweet 16, but a little bigger.
As many of
you know, I was able to go to a youth retreat. (Yup, that’s right, a youth
retreat. Here in Mexico,
if you’re not married, you’re a youth!)That proved to be a great time and I,
also was able to learn a ton of new words in Spanish. Emily, one of the mk’s, was the only other
person who spoke English. Thus, everyone assumed she was my sister. Too funny!
The
apartment deal is settled, finally! I am so thankful that the Lord provided for
us in His timing. We now have a wonderful apartment with wonderful neighbors.
Yet again, He proves Himself to be faithful! Both my roommate and I were over
ridden with doubt, but as I have said, He is so amazingly faithful, in even the
little things. Sometimes I forget that (although, He has given me many lessons
in this).
I so praise
Him for the much needed break time that is ahead. Last week I lost my voice, we
moved, and I still had to teach. So glad there is a temporary break in sight!
Also, I
just wanted to give a shout out to all of you who give to missions through the
Lottie Moon Christmas offering! Thank you a million times! With out your
giving, I along with over 5,000 other servants through out the world would not
be able to do what we do. Know that you are a giant blessing to us! We thank
God for you!
