As we usually do around this time of year, we've just sent out a few hundred newsletters. You may have one coming in the post, but if you just can't wait or if you don't usually get one by email, you can open it here and print your own. It's supposed to be printed on A4 paper and folded into a Christmas card.
We still send a lot out to people we haven't heard from for a long time and wonder if they reach the people they were intended for.
Perhaps you used to get them but you have moved. We would love to hear
that you are still getting them or if you don't any more but you would
like to again, do get in touch. Contact info is in the downloadable letter.
If you'd like to get more frequent updates by email please add your address to our email list.

Six!
This is very old news to most of you now, but just in case you didn’t hear yet, Eliana Joy was born on 22nd July2005 — our 16th wedding anniversary. Fortunately she sleeps better than most of her siblings ever did at her age. Eliana is a Hebrew name though not found in the Bible as a name. It could mean either God has answered or possibly the LORD is God. We understand that Eliana is a popular name in Portugal and in modern day Israel, it has been increasing in popularity in the US, though it seems almost unknown in Britain. We can certainly confirm that our Lord is God and he really does answer prayer. We hope that you will know that as your experience too.

13 Blackthorn Drive
 At the end of April, we finally moved into our own house in Bradley
Stoke. After more than twelve years of living in rented properties,
it is good to feel a little more settled and that we will gain the benefit
of effort put into decorating.
We want to say a huge thank-you to friends and family who made our move
possible and helped us get moved in. Thanks also to whoever it was who
advised us to buy our original house in Bridgend before we went to Africa.
Entering the housing market for the first time in 2004 would have been
very difficult.

 New Beginnings
This year has certainly been a year of big decisions and major changes in
our lives. We praise the Lord for his faithful care and direction.
No going back
When we wrote in April, we were beginning to face the possibility
that we might not be able to return to Africa and we asked you to pray
that the Lord would guide us clearly. Not long after writing, we heard that
SIL had decided not to return to Côte d'Ivoire this year.
