We have a little bit of time off and are spending Christmas
with my mom in South Africa. I have not been home for Christmas in many, many
years and this is a real blessing for me.
Jodi and I would like to wish you a very “Happy Christmas”
as they say here in Swaziland. Thank you so much for making a difference with
us here in 2008. We love you and
couldn’t be here without you!!
Love
Marius & Jodi

Glad you were able to spend Christmas with some of your family.I am in Colorado with Tara and family.No snow here in the Springs.
Thank you for your Christmas picture and greeting. You both look like you are so happy. When the children look into your face, they see the face of Jesus in both of you. What an incredible experience. My prayer for you during 2009 is that God will continue to bless every breath that each of you take during 2009 and every day thereafter.
May God hold you in the palm of His hand, and protect you with his love, compassion and faithfulness. I pray for you contininually, and know that God hears ALL PRAYERS!
Happy New Year!
