Christmas is right around the corner and we want to wish you all a very, Merry Christmas.This is Caleb, Justus and Emma here once again and we also want to tell you some of the adventures that we have been up to.Emma - "I've been real busy going here and there with my Mom and Dad and brothers these past few weeks. Most of the time, during the day, we get to stay at home and mostly just relax. But in the evenings, we have been going out to many different people's houses. Mom and Dad talk about Cambodia a lot. I know that they are happy to be here, but it seems like they miss Cambodia and I think that they are looking forward to going back there.
It's been fun getting to meet new people. Lots of times the people that we are visiting have kids too, so I get to make new friends while we're here. I'm pretty comfortable wherever we go, but it's always nice to know that Mom and Dad are close by.
The other day, Mommy called Cambodia to talk to one of my Cambodian aunties named Chanthy. While they were talking to each other in Khmer, I was able to understand some of the things that they were saying. Mommy said that I did really good!"
Justus - "Last weekend, Papa and Grammy took us up to the mountains to play in the snow. It was a lot of fun, but it was really cold. We made a snowman and Papa and Daddy made a snow fort for Caleb and I, so we hid in that and threw snowballs at Papa and Daddy.
We've also had a little bit of snow in the city. We haven't gotten very much, and it hasn't stuck around for long, but it is really pretty to see it falling down from the sky. Daddy always likes to go outside and watch it come down. Daddy thinks that we might get some more in the next couple of days or two, but we'll just have to wait and see. Maybe we'll have a white Christmas!"
Caleb - "We've been having lots of fun with Papa and Grammy, but I've still been doing my school work. I get to take a break for a couple of days for Christmas though, so I'm looking forward to that.
One of the things that is fun is that Papa and Grammy have lots of fun games to play. One of the ones that I'm really good at is Battleship. I've played many times with Grammy and Daddy too. I've won some and lost some, but Daddy has taught me some good strategies, so I can almost beat anyone I play.
Since I've been doing so good at that game, Daddy has now started teaching me another game called Risk. We haven't played that one lots and lots, but I'm starting to understand that and I invite anyone who passes by to sit down and play a game with me. It's lots of fun."
"Christmas is just a few days away now and we want to make sure that we thank all of you for all of your love and hospitality while we've been here in North America. Our family is greatly blessed by all of you and it's so fun to spend time with all of you. We hope that you all have a great Christmas and that God's richest blessings are on you all as we remember our Saviour this Christmas."
Merry Christmas!
Caleb, Justus and Emma (and Mommy and Daddy too!)
