Giving Thanks!
As you celebrate Thanksgiving in the states, remember to take time to enjoy being with family and friends, but remember to first take time thanking God for all He's done this year. We have so much to be thankful for! Here in Costa Rica, of course, Thanksgiving is not celebrated since it is an American Holiday. We will be getting together with other missionaries to celebrate tomorrow evening, but during the day we'll be in school just like any other day.
We're thankful for the support you give to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, which has allowed us to come to the mission field. Of course we'll miss being with family and friends in the States during this special season, but we know that we are where God wants us.
Kerri remains involved in her weekly Bible study, and is rotating teaching with some other ladies. Please continue to pray for these ladies attending, sometimes these ladies don't have the money for food, clothes or housing... but most importantly these ladies have a need for a relationship with our Savior. Please pray that God would continually draw them to Himself through this study and that God will meet their physical needs as well.
I am involved in a Bible study as well, and was supposed to have taught for my first time last night, but it was canceled. So next week, remember me on Tuesday night in your prayers as I teach for the first time as well as the family we're working with, because you know it has to be frustrating listening to a Gringo butcher their language.
We're posting some more pics of the girls as well as some recent weekend adventures. My (Ted) parents will be arriving here on December the 12th, so please keep them in your prayers as they travel. We can't wait!
Three Saturdays ago, 4 other missionary friends and I went on a 4-wheeler tour about an hour outside of town- great getaway for a half day!
Last weekend, I went hiking in the mountains outside of town with some other missionaries to a cross which can be seen atop one of the surrounding mountains on a clear day.
The girls are getting bigger and cuter all the time
