Oh man it's almost Christmas!!! Time is flying by. It's time for an update.
Korea is getting colder, but it sounds like Georgia has us beat! Y'all had your first frost before we did and it sounds like you may get a snowfall before we do. Crazy Georgia weather.
Right now we have a friend staying with us for 10 days. We met him last year at Taize in France. He is Dutch and is a worship leader. Kidoong went to Holland to visit him and his church, "Door Brekkers," a couple of months ago. He arrived last Thursday, Thanksgiving Day (more on that later...). Rutger joined us for a worship team retreat and participated with me and the YES team for leading worship for 2 services. He did a great job and we all really enjoyed having him.
About Thanksgiving... well, let's just say that I'm glad "thanksgiving" is not confined to food, family and geographic location. I'm hoping for a little turkey when I come back for Christmas. I had to work extra for Thanksgiving and there was no time for cooking or celebrating in the way we would in the U.S. I struggled with homesickness that day.
Barry and the kids are doing great. Most kids make a paper chain to count down the days to Christmas. Sam and Will made a paper chain to count down the days until our flight back to the U.S.! It will be a happy time.
See you all SOON!!!
