Hannah and I are packing now for our trip to Germany with our friend Patty. We're sad that we won't be home to see all our friends and family this Christmas, but we're excited about what God will do with this time. Patty was born and raised in Germany, then went to college in America, before finding the Wakakusa program and deciding to teach here in Funehiki. We met her 3 years ago when she and the other girls on the team were stranded at Grace Fellowship for two months, but only recently have gotten to really know the gem who she is. We're excited to have this trip to get to know her and her family better. We're also hoping to meet up with Lucy, the Ross' German exchange student, sometime on the trip.
It's been a busy, busy few weeks...and now...tomorrow is our last day before Winter break. It's hard to believe how fast the weeks have gone by. We've had some great opportunities to get to know teammates better, some great opportunities to make new friends, and some great opportunities to see Japan in the past few months. Still, we're excited to have a little break. We'll be sure to take lots of pictures and makes posts as often as we're able.
Merry Christmas everyone! We miss you and love you! Have a blessed holiday, full of God's grace and love. Take the time to remember the precious gift God gave us through Christ. Peace on Earth...Goodwill towards men (and women!)...
