Friends dropped by...

Of course, Christmas means great times with friends. We had our Bishop and some of his family over. The Bible College President and his wife are standing by the tree. Our new friends, the Hamilton family, are in the process of moving to Lithuania from Belarus. They work with Young Life and will be reaching out to the youth of Lithuania.

We got some extra Christmas money and bought ourselves a Wii game. (Thanks to learning about it at our recent visit to Ukraine.) (Thanks also to Vixie Friedman for finding us one at SAM's when there were none in Springfield to be found!) Matt brought the game with him and we have been fun bowling right in our home! It is amazing how well you can bowl when you don't have to throw that heavy ball!!!!!!!

We are getting back to work though. This week we got taxes done, FAFSA applications, newsletter, preaching/teaching messages worked on, and many other things caught up on the computer. It has been a great first couple weeks of 2009.
