| We went to visit Aunty Judy and Uncle Kevin. Ross showed the kids his tarantula collection. It was amazing to learn that they are pretty docile. Their colours are amazing. Proof again of our great Creator! |

| Becca, John and Nick came to stay at my parents' house for some of the December break. They are teachers at the school our kids attend in Malawi and so to get down to SA for the Christmas holiday is always a treat:) Nick is doing chin up with Ben hanging on his back. |
 |
| We decided to do some painting in the back yard. Ben was pleased with his artwork. |
 |
| I need to have our kids read their books instead of being glued to the screen:( It certainly helped to keep them entertained while we waited for our plane to arrive at Lilongwe International Airport. Our house is packed up and we are ready for our trip to South Africa for Chritsmas to spend that with my parents. Then on to the USA where we will spend time visiting churches, raising support, Brian will preach and teach and we'll get to see our family and friends. |
 |
| This is little Marion and her older sister Francesca. I looked after Marion when she was three months old for two weeks. She crept into my heart:) |

| Brian loves teaching these men. He really enjoys interacting with them. We won't see these men graduate since we'll be in the USA on furlough. We are trusting though that they will take what they have learned in their praeching class this past semester and continue to unleash the truth of God's Word. What a privilege it is to be able to help these men and to serve God in this way. We are so thankful for the opportunity. |
 |
| Brian really likes this spare tyre cover. It belongs to a friend of ours. Nick, pictured above, is planning on attending The Master's Seminary next year. |
 |
| Brian asked his friend if they could switch spare tyre covers, so now TMS is on our car. Brian's longtime friend, Kwacha Simwaka and his lovely girlfriend, Amanda, plus her sister came to visit Malawi from CA. Since Kwacha is already graduated from TMS, they took a picture too. |
 |
| Alli made good friends with this lady while we waited patiently to renew my Malawian driver's license. It expires in Jan 2013 and we'll be in CA then. |

| This enlarged picture to show you the rubber band keeping the camera in place. Gotta love AFRICA! |
