As this year draws to a close, we are ever thankful for all of you who have stood with us, prayed for us and given so kindly to the ministry of Firstlight.  It is in awe that we look back upon a year that was FILLED, FILLED, FILLED, with wonderful times.  So much outreach!  So many reached with the gospel.  But also, precious times, in our lives, to be with our families, and with our son, Josiah.  Dan was able to spend a few days in his precious woods behind his mother’s house, and to go fishing with his older brothers.  I was able to visit my family as well as hosting dear friends from all over in our home.  By the time you all read this, Dan will be heading out for one last trip this year, to Myanmar again, with Chuck Lenhart.  He will get back home just in time for Christmas, as will Josiah come in round about the same time.  We are really looking forward to a few weeks together, doing familiar things.  Well, really, our greatest gift we often say, is just being under the same roof for two weeks in a row.  I am sure many of you with grown children can relate to that.  We pray an awesomely blessed Christmas season to all of you and your beloveds, from our family.  We are so grateful for that wonderful Gift that Father sent to us so long ago…the Gift that makes us all family.
