Ok, the more I think about the holidays the sadder I get. I know it isn't suppose to be that way, but I have never been away from home before. I totally love it here and know this is where I am supposed to be, but it will be a very different Christmas for me.
We have been invited to spend Christmas with some friends in Birmingham. They are a very nice couple on staff with Agape. It will be great spending some time with them, but not the same.
Please just keep me in your prayers, as it can be a hard time of the year. I am really looking forward to the two weeks off, but I am not one who is able to do nothing very well.
I have been given a big assignment. There is a National Student Conference in February and I will be working with a lot of the speakers and then putting together all of the printed materials for the conference. They figure that it is so much work that the week before the conference it is all I will be working on. I will get back from Spain and then have loads of work to do.
Yes, I did say Spain. We are heading to nice warm Malaga Spain Jan 23-29th for a mid-year conference. This is some training and learning, but mostly a good time to recuperate from the hard year, I am already looking forward t it, and hope that the conference the week after doesn't take away from it.

Hey, You are in my prayers during the holidays. I can imagine that things are hard. I would love to come spend it with you, so you can enjoy good ole Cali company. I am totally excited to hear all of the good things that are going on for you in Scotland and the experiences that God has given you. Love you always.
I know how it is to be far from home during the holidays - my thoughts are with you! I put the postage on your Christmas card this AM. I only put 79 cents worth instead of 80; hopefully it gets there :)
