Happy Thanksgiving! We have much to be thankful for. We are thankful for our 3 girls and for the good health and safety that God has given to our family. We are thankful that during this year Abby has trusted in Christ as her Savior and was baptized. We are thankful for our missionary "family" here in Papua New Guinea that we have the privilege to work alongside. They are a tremendous blessing in encouragment, help and support. We are thankful for our Simbai "family" and enjoy getting to know the Simbai people better each year. God is blessing the Simbai churches and ministries through the national pastors and Christians who love their Savior and love to serve Him. We have learned a lot from our special friends. At this time of year we think of and miss greatly our family and relatives back in the USA. We love them and appreciate their support for us. We are looking forward to seeing everyone next June when we go on furlough. Finally we are thankful for the many churches and individuals who pray for us and financially support us to make it possible for us to be here. Thank you for being our family in ministry.

Attached is a simple email Christmas card from our family, including some recent pictures of us. We hope that this holiday season will bring you and your family much joy as we remember and share the good news of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
