I just returned from a trip down to Flordia for meetings in a couple of churches and to spend time with my parents who have a winter place in Florida.  My family joined me for the first half of the trip and then they had to return to New Hampshire so the kids would not miss much school.  The boys soccer team made it undefeated and won the NEACS Soccer Title.  I spent the week fishing with my dad and enjoying time with them.  It has been 18 years since I spent time alone with them so this was a special time.  Though I was glad to get back to New Hampshire to be with my wife and kids again.  This past week we spent Thanksgiving with Kathy’s family and enjoyed a wonderful time of fellowship.  These are the times we will think about the most when we are in Zambia.  Our meetings for the winter months are winding down.  This will give our family a chance for some rest and relaxation and the opportunity to enjoy the New England Winter weather.  The kids are anticipating the snow fall and the chance that will give to go sledding and skiing.  We correspond regularly with our friends in Zambia and look forward to our return in June.  A special thanks to all of you that keep us in your prayers.  Have a blessed holiday season.
