CHRISTMAS 2004 GREETINGS & PHOTOS      

We have safely returned from Durban. Our time there was wonderful and relaxing. We spent much of our
time in the malls where there was A/C. However, the last day we braved the sun and the beach and
watched the surfing competition. Despite using half a bottle of total sun block, we both still managed to
get badly sunburned. Yet, what would a vacation be without getting sun burnt. The drive through the
mountains was beautiful and peaceful, God had his hand on our vehicle and we did not even see one
accident, a real answer to prayer. Thank you for your prayers; our vacation was wonderful and relaxing,
although the time went too quickly. We are now back at the mission and trying to lay low and keep cool.
While we were in Durban we purchased a Christmas CD, all the old favorites: Bing Crosby, Rosemary
Clooney, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, etc. Listening to songs like, "I'm dreaming of a White Christmas",
"Walking in a Winter Wonderland", and of course "I'll be home for Christmas," took on a whole new meaning
for us this year. We are missing a cold, and white Christmas (Except those of you in BC of course). We
miss you and wish that God will richly bless you this Christmas.

With "Warm" Christmas Wishes,
Tyler & Elizabeth
