2010

Jolie liked her present too!


YUM!!

Wow, can you believe it is 2010? Time seems to be going by so fast! We had a great holiday season here in Abidjan. We celebrated Christmas and brought in the New Year with our team mates. We tried to come up with some new family traditions this year for Christmas. As you can see from above, we cooked our own Christmas meal. We had ham, dressing, cranberry sauce, sweet potato casserole, green beans, deviled eggs, and lots of candy! It all tasted wonderful!

I have to admit that I am glad we are back to normal life now. The homesickness seemed worse during the holiday season, but now it is like every other day and we are staying busy.

Here are some prayer requests for the upcoming year:

*that we will continue to improve in our french and that our brains will be ready to tackle an African language in May

*that we will stay healthly

*continue to build and grow relationships

*salvation for our muslim friends

*the small group will grow in the Lord and someone will step up to lead

We would like to thank each and every one of you for praying for us in 2009. Continue to lift us up! We thank the Lord for the many ways that he has blessed us. In the first 3 days of 2010 we can already see the Lord's hand moving in many situations!

Blessings,

Teresa
