"Happy New Year"

Thank God for protection and unexpected blessings from a pandemic in 2020.  

And May God Bless 2021 more so.   

Greetings From Our Mongolian Friends

To share with all of you....

We wouldn't be have known Dawaa and Baynaa without the family of God.

May Jesus be born in you and yours again these Holidays.  

Christmas Caroling After Church

A good time was had by all. 

Singing was the easy part.  The ladies all made cookies and handed them out to 7 families!

Great to Get the Girls Back and Decorate our Tree!

 Johanna and Lydia got home safe from Germany Friday night!

Here they are helping decorate the tree!

Picking a tree

Seeing the reindeer (caribou) 

 

Masks help keep trees safe, (just kidding) and cold kids warmer (true). 

Around the snowy hearth. Maggie made that wreath.

Bible Quizzing

Clara and Josiah are studying the book of Matthew and doing well at monthly quiz meets.

Nothing like a little competition to motivate people to healthy goals like knowing God's Word. 

This month both achieved a big goal of 'quizzing out', answering the maximum questions correctly. 

Josiah is slightly limited by being the only one on his junior team.

And by being a 3rd grader, when it's really for 4th and up.  He really likes it!

Looking Like Christmas in Ohio

Some snow is starting to fall late this fall.

Clara and Josiah enjoy trying to sled down the hill in the back yard.

Good Word for these Times

Our friend is a professor at WSU and preached this good Word recently.

I enjoyed it, and hope it may be helpful to you too.  

Christmas Candy Making - Tis the Season!

After church on Sunday we all learned how to make hard candy.

It was as fun to make and spend time talking as it was to eat.

Merry Christmas!

Article on Basketball Academy

Our missions mobilizer friends asked us to write an article for the Central District.  So we wrote about missions in Mongolia, particularly about the basketball academy.  Feel free to read it if you like:

Decking the Halls

So glad to have Maggie home from Wheaton College for a few months!

She's working at Hobby Lobby and helping out here at church with Bible Quizzing!

Clara and Josiah help their grandma deck the halls on Sunday. 

Maggie helps by putting the lights on the tree.

Observe the historic score of the football game.  Winning this one put the Browns second in the AFC, with a possibility of making the playoffs, which would be like a Christmas miracle.
