My job description at OC is malleable, but I'm learning to adapt. These last two weeks I have been working on prayer letters, formatting and proofreading - I wisely leave the layout to someone more creative than me. It's been a new experience reading the letters from our missionaries. I didn't realize how many amazing stories I was missing out on by not reading them. God is on the move people! It's kind of an amazing thing to witness.
I'm reading the Christmas letters and I am trying really hard not to bust out the Christmas sweaters and music. I'm committed to celebrating fall and all its glory, since I've missed out on the beautiful season for that last two years. I mean - common on - changing leaves, crisp, clean weather, sweaters, scarves, apple cider, Halloween, pumpkin everything - it's an amazing thing to experience. But, I've got to admit, it's hard not to get wrapped up in the Christmas-fever. After all, those uplifting Christmas jingles are just a mouse click away. Reading the letters also makes me miss the Philippines, where they have been in the Christmas spirit since September.
A great thing about reading Christmas letters a month early is that I get all these good ideas for my own Christmas letter. I'm excited to write it and share it with everyone that has been praying for me. So, if by chance you are not on that list, please send me your information so that I can send you a Christmas greeting. Email or Facebook are the easiest, so here's the email: k.boesel09@gmail.com.
I hope to write more the rest of November and December; we'll see - I've never been good at keeping resolutions :).
In closing, I must say, Happy Fall to you all :) (I did not take the picture to the right, don't want to take credit)
