Friday

Off to Tom and Jeannette's, with a live nativity tonight, virtually in our front yard!!! Looking forward to meeting local people ...Anne Fisher phoned yesterday and they hope to be through next Saturday evening. Hooray! What faithful friends they have been over the many years we have known them!...Anne said their son, Nick, really wants to move here and invest in the US to support it. I said to contact Henry Paulson and he would gladly take whatever Nick has!...A couple of notes from yesterday: I went to a mall area here in town to finish my Christmas shopping - not much to complete as most done well before...But how strange to have so many stores available...Am not used to that anymore....I had to take back routes, with Dad on the phone directing me as there was an accident on the direct route - part of the cost in living near a major US artery! Also, at the Bible Study on Wednesday, Dad talked at length with one of Justin's friends. He is soon moving to Las Vegas to start a mission church, and was wondering if Dad wanted to apply for his job - part time phone counseling with young people - in the evenings. Do keep this in prayer. Off to breakfast and my lengthy commute!
