Well it is officially cold here in Santa Cruz. It feels like Christmas with the ice on the windows. It has been an amazing year watching many come up the road spiritually. We have come under many attacks but through God we are always victorous. Chuck and Kelli have been coming to the mission for a while. Kelli has really been growing in Christ. She was so excited tonight she read the book of John last night and is going to read Luke. God has given the mission a car to give them. It is great to see the excitement of New Believers. It keeps us on our toes and we have to make sure we are being the example that God wants us to be. We are going to have a meeting for the Elm Street board on the first of January. Dad and mom will be here and dad will preach on the 31st. God has been taking care of us (although the money comes just in the nick of time.) this whole year. It has been a great year of learning to live by faith. With no money to fall back on and not a dime in savings it is great to have a big God. This is not a whine or a call for money it is a fact that God has wanted us to really know how to live by faith. Thank you for all your support and prayers. Merry Christmas
