Lindsay and I had a great Christmas. How nice it is for our families to only live about two and a half hours apart. We really enjoy being with them. It is an especially unique experience when some of them truly understand and appreciate the meaning of the holiday. We talk with college students frequently about Jesus and why he was born, but having those conversations with family just seems to amplify the significance. God is real, and He works all around us!

It's nice to have a break. I think God knows exactly what we need as full-time college missionaries.
