Dear Friends and Family:
Merry Christmas to you! What a joy to
celebrate Christ’s birth and to remember
that He came to this broken world to be our
Savior!
The year has flown by quickly! Here’s a quick
recap of our 2019:
Winter: Chilly Nampa weather kept us close
to home! Craig was busy at MAF and Ruth
was busy as wedding planner!
Spring: March bridal shower, April Easter
pageant and piano recital for Ruth’s
students, plus final wedding plans! The
wedding of Julianne and Joshua on May 11
was lovely and below are a few more photos!
Summer: In June we drove almost 4,000 miles to the Southwest,
visiting friends, supporters, and family, and celebrating our 23rd
anniversary. A great trip with lots of good visits! In August we
resumed teaching Sunday School and Julianne turned 22. Now in
her senior year at college, she’s in two choirs, working part-time,
and doing an internship for her major, graphic design.
Fall: Ruth had gallbladder surgery in September, and in early
October we traveled to Glacier
National Park in Montana for much needed R
& R. Ruth is now back to guest teaching,
music lessons, and accompanying for local
school choirs. In November we enjoyed
Julianne’s choir concerts and Thanksgiving.
We look forward to celebrating the Christmas
season together with friends, and then a brief
trip to Arizona to visit Ruth’s folks.
The Lord has been gracious and kind to us!
We are thankful for the many friends who are
such a blessing to us! Thank you for your
partnership with us in our MAF ministry! You
enrich our lives with your words of
encouragement, and we are so blessed by
your support through prayer and generous giving, making MAF’s
work possible. We pray that you will be richly blessed this Christmas
season as you celebrate with friends and family, and rejoice in God’s
wonderful gift of His Son, Jesus Christ, Who came to redeem us and
give us hope for this life and the life to come! “Therefore, God
exalted Him to the highest place, and gave Him the name that is
above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is
Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:9-11)
