Well by now many of you know that we made it back from California where we were for Christmas and New Year. It was a great trip and it allowed us time to hang out with family and friends. We were able to re-touch base with our church family at New Life Christian Church and were extremely blessed by their outstretched arms of love and support. Our friend Tina M. organized a pot-luck calling in friends of ours from the past and present and New Life also extended us a financial blessing during their Change of Heart program where they bring all the change they have collected for the month for missions. Wow did they have a lot of change. We established new contacts and new people were able to put a face to all their prayers. This was an awesome time and we are so grateful for all the love and support. Unfortunately we didn't get out a Christmas or New Years letter as we only had a few opportunities to get on the web and the time I tried to send a nice letter it didn't go. Please know that you are all in our hearts and prayers and we look forward to another awesome year in the Lord. In fact the Lord has shared with us that "It Is Time in 2009", so we are excited for what this year has to offer in terms of the things the Lord wants to do here in Italy. We appreciate all of you so very much and look forward to another year of serving the the Lord in Italy together as we take the land for His Glory.
