Every year, Thanksgiving in JV is such a blessing for me.  I love the time to be able to fellowship with friends and really family, as so many feel like family to me.  This year was especially blessed as we spent time playing sports, eating, thanking God, and even enjoying the JV Kid’s talents.  God is so good to us, it is so exciting to be apart of what He is doing through JV in Europe.

After Thanksgiving I went to Ostrava to visit my good friend Josh Nelson.  I am glad to have him as a friend and throughly enjoy our times together.  What a great time it always is to grow and encourage each other in ministry and life. This weekend Josh turned 30 and we decided to have a big surprise party for him.  He was surprised and the party was a real success. One of the things we did, was to give him the gift of words.  I believe it was a unforgettable evening for him.
