God has given us many blessings this past year. Our family is grateful for the opportunity to serve God through reaching out to the Spanish speaking people here in North Carolina. This December our family traveled many hours (20) to go to Houston and visit with grandmothers and other relatives. It was a good trip and we are glad to be back home. When we arrived the young expecting mother Thania gave birth to a healthy baby boy, we were able to see her and have been praying for her during this difficult time when her husband is not able to be with them.   We have been doing deputation and in spite of the cold weather our children found time to play in the snow.  Robbinsville got 6 inches of snow this January 30th. Our snowman is still standing in February 2, and has become ice solid. Yes it is cold, but Praise God for warm hearts and warm homes.
