Merry Christmas you guys!!!  Or should I throw out a little "Felz Navidad!" action?  I hope wherever you are this Christmas season, you're loving every minute of it.  Christmas here in Costa Rica is pretty warm…and we're making excellent use of our fire pit that we built for the team house here.  With the beautiful weather and night time fire pit action, it should make for an excellent tropical Christmas.  Aahhhh….the life of a missionary.

       Before I begin rambling about how thankful I am for all of your support, love and encouragement (which I am!), and saying that I love that I get to be here for Christmas (which I do…though I miss ya'll!) I want to help rally support for 6 of my squad-mates.  We're all required to have a minimum of $10,000 raised by December 31st, and there are six folks on the race with us that are short of that goal and need help.  (I know some of you have helped out with my teammate Alana already…so thank you so, so much for that!  She has been absolutely astounded at how God has been working through you!)

       To help our six newest friends stay out on the field, answering the call of service Christ has put on their heart, my teammate Angie made a video!  Please watch it (and watch carefully…because yours truly makes a special guest appearance) and please pray and consider helping out the six folks who could use a hand.  You can visit their individual pages by clicking on the links below the video.  (And if you feel led to help support them, you can do so from their profile page.)  Thank you for taking the time to read the blogs, check out the photos and watch the videos  You are awesome and God is working through you in my life in so many ways…love love love you guys!!!
