2011 was a big year, not only for us but all around the world. If you need to remind yourself of all this year’s happenings, check out Google’s very moving 2011 year in review on YouTube.

For us, 2011 has been a year of seeing God do marvelous things. We welcomed our beautiful baby boy Henry into our hearts and home. We sold the vast majority of what we owned and moved to Texas about halfway through the year. We lived in Dallas for sixth months, completed a course in linguistics, and said goodbye. And then just before the year’s end we are moving to France.

This year God has also allowed us to share with you our hearts for Bible translation. This year God provided us with a group of supporters who give and pray for us regularly–you! This is truly a miracle. Thank you and merry Christmas from the four of us!

O children of the forest free, the angelsong is true;
The holy child of earth and heav’n is born today for you.
Come kneel before the radiant Boy,
who brings you beauty, peace and joy.
Jesus your king is born, Jesus is born. Gloria!
— Jean de Brébeuf
