Returning home after weeks of traveling required a season of re-adjusting and catching up on many different fronts. Household chores, winter snow, bill paying, fighting the computer, and writing/printing/mailing newsletter updates don't make for exciting stories but are the "as you go" stuff of life.
In the midst of this God blessed us by including us in some holiday activities with international students. Richard joined the Indian Christmas Celebration held in West Hartford at the Univerisity of Hartford. This outreach to Indian and other international students by a group of Indian families allowed Richard to share words of life and encouragement in unexpected and fun ways. Carol drove to Willimantic to join a key volunteer's family in Christmas caroling in their neighborhood. Some internationals joined us for the cultural experience and got to learn our carols that tell all about Jesus. It was exciting to see neighbors receive with joy and students put good seed in their hearts. All around us God was networking and connecting people!
