Happy New Year!
Wow! 2008 has been a great year for our family. We are so thankful for God's guidance and provision this past year. Our God is great and He is faithful!
We were blessed to spend the last day of 2008 and the first day of 2009 with 7 awesome people from NC. The team was here to ring in the New Year with us. We rang it in singing "Shine Jesus Shine" and "May Our Hearts Be So Consumed By You That We Never Cease To Praise".
May God be honored in the ways we spend our days in 2009. This is our hearts' desire.
I'll post a few photos of our New Years celebrations - Home group with Russians, New Year's Eve party at Stamey's - New Year's Day party at Stamey's. By the way, the guy in the speedo is not a team member. He is a Russian man who swims in the freezing pond water for his health. The team really had fun seeing this part of Russian culture.
And then the photo of Ben shows is bandage. He brought in the new year by sliding down a slide and hitting his head on a cement curb. He is proud to have 4 stitches in his forehead. God really helped him during the trip to the Dr. and the time of getting the stitches. After the initial shock, he was very calm and did not scream or cry.
Enjoy the photos. Happy 2009!
