One of our challenges as a missionary family is that our family is spread apart in the US by thousands of miles and then we are another 8 - 10 thousand miles from any of them. It was a blessing to be with family over the Christmas holiday. We started in Minnesota and had the chance to see my folks, several of my siblings and spouses, nieces and nephews and other friends and family. Amos and Laura came from California and we were able to have a reception for them in my parent's building. Laura's parents also came from Sioux Falls to join in the celebration. Then we went to Spokane to celebrate Christmas with our daughter Micah, husband Danny and granddaughter Constance. It was also fun to spend time with Danny's parents, brother (and girlfriend who is now his fiance) and grandparents. All these times make special memories. We were able to get a family photo before we all separated ways. I was especially blessed to have this time with our kids and their spouses and our granddaughter all together as we get to know each other as a family.
