I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends! We spent the day with our team mates and some of our African friends. It was a great day of fellowship (all in french!) I don't know if all our friends was greatly impressed with the traditional Thanksgiving food, but they braved it anyway! ;) We feel blessed to have some great friends here! Continue to pray for our muslim friends to come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior.
The day after Thanksgiving we started some of our new family traditions. We woke up and made us a yummy breakfast with bacon (sent from the good-ole USA!), played Christmas music as we decorated, and drank some apple cider. It was a great day together as a family! We do miss our family and friends more during this time, so we are trying to make it as much like home as possible.
Ministry is still going well here in Abidjan. The small group is doing great. They are going out sharing their faith with the muslims in their community. We have been having women come the last few weeks, so that is an praise! Continue to pray that these men (and women) will grow in their faith and will continue to tell others about what God has done for them.
We had our language evaluation this past Friday and it went really well. I was really nervous, but gave it to the Lord and he answered the prayers of many people. We are at the level that we should be at this time. We will continue in french for about 3 more months and then will begin an African language.
Enjoy your holiday season, and remember the reason for the season: Jesus!
Love,
Teresa
