This letter was supposed to be out in December. However, we believe in God’s sovereignty and that before eternity He planned for it to be out in February instead! And what a good thing that is, because now you get to read about what happened in January too!

In our house we’ve been listening to a lot of Shakira recently. Mainly thanks to Maia, who has been learning to sing ‘Acrostico’ in her music lessons. The lyrics of the song talk about the disappointment of a broken marriage contrasted with the ‘true’ love she has for her children, a love which she says is healing and will never end.

It’s been a while since our last prayer letter, but we are so grateful to God for seeing many of you and sharing our news in person during January and December! We have very happy memories of our whistlestop tour of the UK and are so thankful for your friendship and interest in our life and ministry in Argentina. The children also had a wild time and so appreciated their UK buddies sharing time and toys with them. Shout out to the kids!

We travelled back from Argentina (via Brazil and France) at the beginning of December, in a long but smooth trip. We’ve been based in Oxford for a few days, which has been lovely, especially with all the Christmas lights! We were back at St Ebbe’s for three of their Sunday services and the Central Prayer meeting, while the children revelled in Sunday School with more than six kids! We also loved visiting the Crosslinks team in London, who work so hard at enabling us to do what we do. We also took the opportunity to introduce the children to the sights of London, but they were most interested in feeding the squirrels! Sigh.
