Dear Family & Friends,

The holidays are upon us. We just received a Christmas package from Christian Moses' family in Australia. We trade Filipino cultural gifts and taste treats for Aussie fare. Christian just had his 4th birthday and, as you can see, is no wall flower!

Yesterday we picked up Daniel from Gentle Hands, the children's home we originally got him from, to celebrate his first birthday. Alberta picked him up in the morning and took him for his MMR shot. After that she brought him home and out came the presents and cake. We had a great time with Daniel and by 7 pm he was out cold! Alberta laid him in his crib in the nursery with 12 other infants and we said goodnight to that precious little guy. We made a contact in Mindoro that may help Daniel's case in the social welfare department. Continue to pray for a speedy processing of his abandonment documents so that he can be moved into the adoption category.

Serving Christ with You, Steve & Alberta
