This past month has been a lot of work followed by a lot of rest and celebration. We've been working hard on language study as well as our other classes, studying the culture and the Bible. We've also been attending Evolution 13 on Wednesday nights, and connecting with the students as well. It's been fun being able to hang out with our new friends, and get to know more about the culture and the city we live in.
Our Christmas celebration began on the 23rd when we went to Matt and Christy's to eat lunch with them, their parents, the kids, CC, and Ania. It was a fun filled time with good food, and talent show, and Just Dance! Christmas Eve CC came over to spend the next few days with us. We ate a delicious dinner cooked by Ania and Linda, spent time talking, laughing, and enjoying each other's company. Christmas day we ate lunch at the home of a Dutch couple that had invited us over. It was a lot of fun! Then we came home, relaxed and had a movie marathon. It was truly a lovely, simple, comfortable holiday.
For New Years Christine and I went with CC to the Vieux-Port to watch an amazing firework show! It was truly an amazing sight to see! Afterwards we went to visit with some of CC's friends, where we ate, laughed and had excellent conversation. I really enjoyed getting to speak with them, and getting to know them a little bit. Their apartment has a lovely view of the harbor, and we celebrated at midnight with a toast and well wishes.
I am excited at all of the prospects this new year will bring. The rest of this week we will be going on a small planning retreat. There we will better figure out what role we will have within Evolution 13 and the ministries that we will have open to us. I am excited for what God has for us, and my heart is full with his promises. I cannot wait to share where this journey will be taking me this year with you all!
Bonne Année!
Blessings and Love,
Chrissy
