On this last night of 2012 we want to thank you for 'walking with us' this past year. Thank you for all your support, involvement and prayers. It was another good year and we want to give God all the honor!

We ended the year on 'all five cylinders' as we had to do Christmas parties and preschool graduations without the McAdams and the Clyburns. We worked hard and long hours, but Clara and Kriek enjoyed being out at the carepoints again and spending time with the kids and the ladies. Kriek especially enjoyed driving all over Swaziland visiting new carepoints. It was overwhelming seeing the kids being so thankful when receiving a bag of candy and a huge cabbage for Christmas. Their smiles brought us much joy!

We are excited about 2013; God has been preparing us for some changes and new things and we can't wait to share with you as soon as we have a better idea of how these new things will look like. (No, don't worry; we are not leaving Swaziland!)

Currently we are spending some time as a family at the beach and we are loving it. We are enjoying Clara more and more and she continues to amaze us daily. She is starting to speak sentences in English and Afrikaans, and she is even starting to use some Siswati words. She is such a blessing to us!
