We miss family and our culture and Christmas cards from our friends these days - especially the increasingly rare white Christmas! It felt cold this Christmas morning here too - down to 69 degrees overnight.
It has been refreshing, even if feels odd, to take a breather from some of the holiday hassle which allows us to focus on the deeper meaning of Christmas. "God with us" is a global phenomenon indeed!
Here is the latest picture of our clan. It seems like a long time ago since our we sent our last Christmas photo referencing a summer surprise - he has been a highlight of our year and is perched on my lap in this photo. It has been a year with plenty of moving and packing for us as we sold our home in March, lived in a rural rental home for the summer, crammed into an apartment in France for language training time and are now settled into hospital compound life in Togo. We are enjoying our friends, the people here and all the ways these experiences make us think.
If you sent us a Christmas card - hopefully it was forwarded so that we can view it when we return to the US (scheduled for June) and we can update you on our new address with a mailed card next year.
Wishing peace and togetherness and joy to all our friends and family back home!
Love,
The Hubers
We greatly missed all of you! Great to see alll of you yesterday afternoon:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and unique picture! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Indiana! I know that your Christmas was different this year, but we hope the time together was rich and meaningful. The students will come back to school on January 4. We hope to write again at some point and possibly SKYPE. Happy 2018!
