Jack updating for Kim

Hi Everybody!

This is Jack updating the blog for Kim. Kim is still on bed rest and not able to make it to the computer. We are getting a Dell notebook computer soon, so she will be able to manage her blog more then.

All is going well. Thanks to all of you who have remembered us in your prayers. Kim and baby seem to be doing well, but the tear is still present so she is on strict bed rest. This has given me the opportunity to learn how much work it takes to manage a household and let me tell you: IT'S HARD WORK! But Kim's job of bed rest is the hardest work by far. She is doing a great job being a great mother to this little one. Pray for her and for the child.

The Kids are doing great and loved Christmas as all kids do. They loved the gifts they received. Thanks to all relatives that helped make this Christmas special for Gracyn and Aidan. They loved the Geo Tracs sets, the clothes, the Leap pad fridge game, and everything else.

We haven't posted a blog in quite some time, so I am going to post some pics and blurbs of some of the things that happened this past month.

We celebrated Thanksgiving in the hospital with Kim.


Aidan had his 2nd birthday. I made him a chocolate Curious George cake.











Gracyn was the #1 Angel in a play her class performed during elementary school chapel. We were very proud of our #1 Angel!. She had 2 lines that she delivered perfectly.









Aidan and Gracyn both love playing with the GeoTracs set! Even Gigi gets in on the fun.









The Ladies of the team came over to have a Christmas party with Kim. They played some games and sangs some songs and of courase ate some nice Christmas goodies.









Our Team also had some great outreach events from Thanksgiving dinners to Christmas parties and fun outings. We had a Christmas party at the ministry center that was great! About 100 Thai people from the community came. We also had a more intimate party at the Mills house with our neighbors and were very pleased with the friends that joined us for food, fun, singing. I attempted to read the Christmas story from the Thai Bible, but despite my practice, I was painfully slow. So about half way through, I had one of our Thai friends read, which was much better!

That's all for now! More to come.
