Hello Friends! There's snow in Kansas! Snow in Kansas isn't at all like the snow we had at the cabin in California. In contrast, the snow here in Kansas is very dry where California snow use to be so wet and mushy making it difficult to work outside. The snow here in Kansas is dry and is easily blown by the wind in gusts- it is simply breath taking to watch. The children remembered testimonies of missionaries we have read in the past who had to travel in the snow to fellowship. In fear of being caught for worshiping outside the government church the people would walk backwards so that the police wouldn't know what direction they had truly went. As I walked into our library, I overheard one of my little ones talking through the window to Josiah saying, "Josiah your plan is working!! I see your footprints really are going in the wrong direction. However, the missionaries must have traveled at night because I can still see you so I know what way you are really going." I had to giggle; the children are simply precious. I so delight in being a mommy to the Kings people! I love to see them grow, explore and learn about Him through everyday life events. I thank the Father for the continued work He does in each of our hearts. I can't put my finger on it yet, I am confident that the Lord is doing something precious in our hearts and home. I can feel His presence stirring and motivating us to grow in His grace! The children and I have been busy making the home lovely for my parents arrival the day after Christmas. Children are finishing the final touches to their music lessons, as a group they continue to practice our favorite songs, and they continue memorizing their birthday proverbs. My Joe and I are also trying to get our birthday proverbs memorized before mom and dad arrive. I need to go and help Beth Joy finish a present she is making for her little sister. I have enjoyed our chat dear friends and will look forward to hearing from you soon. I love to hear what He is doing in your hearts and home as well! With much love, Mrs. Joseph Wood
