Please PrayThanks for the gift of Jesus.

Thanks for the friendships that God has

blessed us with here.

Thanks for the generous love and

support from Australia.

Thanks for a good and restful holiday

for Sarah and the girls.

Thanks for more students who want to

study MOCLAM courses with Pete.

Pray for more people to know why

Jesus is worth celebrating.Pray for perseverance and diligence as

Pete and Sarah approach the end of

intensive language learning (the process

will continue for many years, but with

less hours of formal tutoring).

Pray for greater competency in

communicating in Spanish.

Pray for Pete as he prepares to teach

Introduction to the Bible to the Mens

group and a smaller group in Spanish.

MOCLAM update With increasing Spanish, Pete has been

able to take up some MOCLAM teaching

opportunities. In February hell begin

teaching Creacin de la nueva creacin

to the Mens Bible study group at our

church, as well as meeting with two

individuals to work through the material.

Between Christmas and New Year Pete

manned a MOCLAM stall at Urbana09,

the InterVaristy (IFES-USA) missions

conference in St Louis, USA. With

20,000 participants (mainly students) it

was a good time for meeting people

interested in theological education in the

Spanish speaking world.

This isnt really MOCLAM work, but the

kids club Pete runs while Sarah does

Bible study has been a hoot! (and the

kids love it too)

The delight of opening parcels from

Australia - thank you for your generosity.

Sarahs first ever Christmas pudding. The

smoked turkey was not what we expected,

but our traditional dinner was thoroughly

enjoyed.

1. Glad we didnt have to travel like this to go on holidays. 2. Fresh chicken, market style. The market was the standard shopping in

a small indigenous village. We stood out - literally. 3. Traditional Hausteca cloth - made by the lady with wool woven into herhair. 4. Hausteca ruin at Tamohi - the northernmost archeological site. 5. Sunset at Puente de Dios - from Tamohi the winter

soltice sun sets in the dip in the mountains and casts a shadow in a special circle on the ground. 6. Karina about to jump into a huge

pool in a cave. 7, 8, and 9. A 1.5 hour canoeing trip up river to Cascada de Tamul. 10. Tampico - a beach on the Gulf of Mexico

with kilometres of carts trying to sell everything! 11. Waves - not quite a NSW beach! 12. Piata fun gave our Christmas

day a Mexican twist. 13. St Louis Missouri for Urbana09. 14. MOCLAM stand at Urbana09. 15. Working at home in our

bosque - branches cut from our tree make a great forest for imaginative play.
