Finally some news

Dear Friends,

Finally some news from us. I know, we should be ashamed but we were so busy (yeah, yeah, excuses, excuses.....).
I hope that everbody had a great X-Mas, I know we had. Thanks for all the cards and messages you sent us.

Last week we went skiing in Austria. The kids did so well at school, we thought they deserved this trip so we booked a nice house in the mountains. Beside the five of us, my mother and my sister also went along. Of course we didn't fit into our small Corsa, so we rented a Van.


Saturday morning around 7.30 we left and after a 12 hour trip we arrived in Austria. It was beautiful, about half a meter snow in the village and way over a meter on the mountain!! On Tuesday it started snowing again and that added another half a meter to the big layer of snow.



























You can imagine the kids (and we also of course) had a great time. To give you a small impression of our trip I will add some pictures and short videos.




























It is amazing how fast a week can go if you have so much fun. But unfortunately everthing has to end, so this Saturday we drove back and arrived home safely around 9 o'clock in the evening.
We are so blessed by our God who protects us and helps us by everything we do. We see that in our work, as well as during trips like this and often don't even think of it!!
We hope and pray that our Father blesses all of you the same way as he did us.
Well this must be it for now. Big hug and hope to hear from you soon,
Henk
PS I hope that next time I can get Sam or one of the kids to write something. Keep your fingers crossed..........
