WE’RE GRANDPARENTS!
Molly Elizabeth Melancen was born December 9th, coming two weeks early. Regretfully we arrived for vacation on the 13th too late to help out at the beginning. Both Beth and Molly are doing pretty well. Thanks for your prayers for a safe delivery. Pray for our very cute granddaughter that she would grow strong and learn to love Jesus.
MORE CELEBRATIONS!
This year, especially December, has been a year of real celebrations for us. On December 5th, we celebrated 25 years of mission work in Japan. John’s doctoral degree in missiology was formalized with a graduation ceremony on December 17th. Then top it off with a white Christmas (we think Tim’s first). December was a great month.
