Christmas Outreach starts tomorrow. There are so many people here now. I have to start learning names and faces. I feed off of people; I LOVE it when there are a ton of people here! We are going to start preparing for DTS soon. Time is flying by.... whoa. It seems like yesterday was August and I was heading back to Hong Kong for two years of my life. Crazy. Hmmm, it seems like I don't have too much to say. Maybe I'm tired b/c I didn't get home from picking people up from the airport until after 1 am. whew. The Hong Kong airport is so cool though, so many different people milling around, coming, going...... Mirj and I like to go just to people watch..... shhh, I didn't just admit that ;)

Oh and just a heads up, if you ever want to see a glimpse of the life I lead you can check out our webcams that we set up for Christmas Outreach. The address is.... http://www.ywamhongkong.org/cor2006.htm

Just click on the camera links, and you can see our courtyard. It should be up and running soon! Love you guys. Drop me a line!

Well, Christmas season is upon us. I really though I was going to miss Christmas. The cheesy music floating through all the stores, well placed decorations hanging from buildings, big Christmas trees, Christmas lights.... and then, Hong Kong decorated for Christmas. I totally underestimated this amazingly multi-cultural city! I was in TST and Central strolling through the mall when I heard a familiar tune floating through the crowded mall air. I started humming along and realized it was a Christmas song. And then I looked up and saw GIANT poinsettas hanging above me, garland stretching out before my eyes with lights and ribbons, all red and green and shiny. And actually, the city is better decorated than many back in the states. They went all out, and I must say this American appreciates it at a time where I'm beginning to miss family gatherings around giant turkeys.... So thanks Hong Kong!

In other news, things are going well. We are busy busy getting ready for Christmas Outreach and DTS. But there are quite a few people floating around, which keeps my social self well occupied and entertained! I am still running quite short in the finances dept. so PLEASE keep me in your prayers for some more support to start coming in! I love you all, and wish you the best this Christmas season. Being over here admidst all the decorations and glitz really hits me that it's so easy to miss the entire point of this season. So, blessings to all, and I thank God for the true celebration of Christmas, sending the Creator down here amongst the creations to repair our broken relationship with Him. Thanks Jesus!
