HAPPY NEW YEAR!
2011 was amazing. We received beautiful Moriah and we love being her parents! On February 9th we will be celebrating her 1st birthday…can’t wait to see those cheeks covered in cake! Moriah is fluent in baby talk! Her English words are: mama, daddy, uh-oh and Boo (for the dog, RIP as of this last week). She’s crawling everywhere, has 2 teeth and 1 more breaking through and currently loves tearing her Winnie the Pooh books into pieces.
As for Jason and I…we are tired! And having fun!
2012 is here and we have hit the ground running! We are hopeful that we will get to Thailand by November 2012. We have just really begun our Partnership Development with OMF International, we are praying for prayer partners as well as financial partners. We have some of both already, praise God! We trust God will bring everything together in His way and in His timing! Jason spoke at Ephraim Church of the Bible in Ephraim, Utah (the church we met at!) and will be speaking at our home church here in Park City this Sunday.
OMF International US put out an amazing video on their heart for Asia. It’s 4 minutes long, and definitely worth your time! Their video is also posted on their website: www.omf.org/us

After our year of language school in Lopburi, Thailand, we plan to be church planters in Northeastern Thailand, known to Thais as “Isaan.” I found a video on Isaan with our future field leader in it. Marten Visser is from the Netherlands (most of our team is from there!). As I’ve read about the situation in the Northeast, there are a less than 100 missionaries in Isaan to date. 100
missionaries for 22 million people, about 1/3 of Thailand’s population…wow! Isaan is still pioneer work, and we are excited to go there!

Hope you’re having a wonderful New Year! And as always, please write us and give us an update!
Love you all,
